Explanation

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is an access control method that assigns permissions to users based on their roles or functions within an organization. RBAC requires a consistent set of rules for controlling and limiting access, as each role is defined by a set of access rights that correspond to the level of authority and responsibility of the role. RBAC can simplify access management, enforce the principle of least privilege, improve security and compliance, and reduce administrative overhead.
