RBAC, short for role-based access control, is an access control method in which permissions are attached to roles such as administrator, editor or viewer rather than to individual users, and users receive permissions by being assigned roles.

Because it maps permissions to an organization's job structure, it is widely used in enterprise software and cloud services. It differs from attribute-based access control, which also weighs user attributes and context.
