1. Introduction to Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

What is RBAC?

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a security model that regulates access to resources based on roles assigned to individual users within an organization. It simplifies administration by assigning permissions to roles rather than individuals, thereby managing permissions centrally and consistently.

Benefits of RBAC in GitLab

  • Granular Control: Assign specific permissions (e.g., read, write, admin) based on roles.
  • Simplified Management: Streamline access control by managing permissions at role-level rather than user-level.
  • Enhanced Security: Reduce the risk of unauthorized access and ensure compliance with organizational policies.
