RBAC plays a critical role in achieving business maturity

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) helps reduce data breaches and security by limiting access to sensitive information and systems based on user roles.

Principle of least privilege

Users are granted only the permissions they need to perform their specific job functions.This minimizes the risk of accidental or intentional misuse of data by restricting unnecessary access.

Simplified access management

Permissions are assigned to roles, not individual users, making it easier to manage and audit access. This reduces errors in granting or revoking access, ensuring consistent enforcement of security policies.

Widely used mechanism in authorization

Many regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA) require strict access control. RBAC ensures compliance by enforcing structured, role-based access policies. This avoids fines and reputational damage due to non-compliance.

Take control of access management

Logto offers a range of RBAC features that simplify access control management without causing mental exhaustion

Protect your API

By adding permissions to your API resources and incorporating them into your development process, you can exercise granular control over the authorization of the API resource within a minimized scope.

    Using roles for efficiency and effectiveness

    Directly mapping permissions to users is inefficient, which is where roles come in. With RBAC, roles include permissions, and you can efficiently manage access in batches.

      Roles can also be assigned to machine-to-machine application, this can protect your API authentication and server to server communication.
