Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/role-based-access-control-rbac

Role-based access control (RBAC) is a security model that restricts system access based on a user's assigned role within an organization, rather than granting permissions to individuals directly. IT administrators and security engineers implement RBAC in systems ranging from operating systems to cloud platforms and enterprise applications to simplify permission management and enforce the principle of least privilege. It is a foundational concept in identity and access management, helping organizations meet compliance requirements and reduce the risk of unauthorized data access.
