RBAC and ABAC
Access control models.
Access Control Models
An access control model defines how permissions are decided. Two of the most widely used are RBAC and ABAC.
Choosing the right one shapes how scalable and flexible your permissions are.
RBAC Basics
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) grants permissions to roles, then assigns users to roles.
A user inherits all permissions of their roles. You manage access by managing role membership.
