Role-Based Access Control
Role-based access control grants permissions through roles assigned to users or service identities. It separates the definition of allowed actions from the identities receiving them, making access easier to manage and review at scale.
Also known as: RBAC
Why it matters
Role assignment simplifies permission administration while enabling separation of duties.
Practical example
Assign a read-only reporting role separately from a role allowed to modify runner configuration.
