What is Role-based Access Control?

Role-based access control or role-based security is an approach to restricting system access to authorized users. Using RBAC, you can create different user roles and club all users of the organizations to each role based on the level of authority they have.

For instance, an administrator will have rights to view and edit everything whereas a viewer will just have access to view all sections of the application. This helps keep access of the application where it is meant to be.
