Role-Based Access Control
Short definition
A security model that grants permissions to users based on their role in the organization (admin, accountant, sales rep) rather than individually.
Extended definition
In RBAC, you define roles, and each role has a set of permissions. Each user gets one or more roles and inherits permissions automatically. This makes managing thousands of users in enterprises feasible: change one role and every account linked to it is affected.
Example & use case
In Ortech ERP: the "Accountant" role sees financial reports only, "Sales Rep" sees their own customers only, "Manager" sees everything.
