Role-based access control (RBAC)
A way to allow or deny actions based on a user's assigned roles or permissions.
"I want only admins to delete posts, and editors to publish — without scattering checks everywhere."
RBAC assigns roles to users and checks those roles at runtime to decide whether a request or action is allowed; keep checks centralized so authorization is consistent and easy to update.
