  • Users are assigned to specific roles.
  • Operates on the principle of least privilege.
  • Roles: Represent different job functions or responsibilities.
  • Permissions: What actions can be performed on the resources or data.
  • Users: The individuals assigned to one or more roles.
  • It is possible to use hierarchies, where higher levels inherit the permissions of lower-level roles.
