Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a security model that restricts system access based on a user's role within an organization. Instead of assigning permissions directly to individuals, access rights are granted based on predefined roles, ensuring that users only have the permissions necessary for their job functions.

Key Features of RBAC:

• Role Assignment: Users are assigned specific roles that determine their access privileges.
• Least Privilege Principle: Users receive only the minimum permissions required to perform their tasks.
• Access Control Policies: Administrators define roles and permissions centrally, simplifying management.
• Improved Security & Compliance: Reduces insider threats and supports regulatory compliance by enforcing structured access control.

RBAC is widely used in government, healthcare, and enterprise environments to enhance security, streamline administration, and prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data.
