Role-based access control models represent some of the most advanced forms of software access and management today. RBAC is based on a model that allows access to certain parts of the network only to people with authorization and roles assigned to them according to their position in the company.
In fact, when using RBAC models, employees will be able to access only the data they need to perform a certain task, while all other confidential information will remain out of reach.
Access is delegated according to various factors, such as seniority, competence, or any other factors that management considers important. One of the most obvious examples of RBAC is when only certain employees are given access to edit a file, while everyone else can just view it.
One of the essential characteristics of the RBAC model is that the security is sealed. Under no circumstances can a low-level employee gain access to data available only to management.
In addition, the use of RBAC models leads to a significant increase in the efficiency of the entire system, which is clearly seen in situations when an employee changes jobs and positions in the organization. You can simply change the authorization level if necessary and save valuable time that you usually don't spend on cumbersome paperwork.
In addition, RBAC models are quite handy when it comes to integrating third-party software APIs. Namely, if you integrate any third-party software, you can give it unique security access and keep it away from the financial and personal records of your employees and the company or any other confidential information.
RC models allow your IT professionals to monitor all processes related to your projects and allow them to see how much time each employee spends on certain tasks. This kind of unprecedented access allows you to monitor all activities and thus prevent any security breaches and data leaks.
In addition, you can use a more cost-effective approach using RBAC and see how much storage is being used, what is the state of bandwidth, and other factors.
