Episode 38 — Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) Explained
In this episode, we break down Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and how it enforces consistent permissions across cloud resources. We explain how roles group permissions together, simplifying management and reducing the chance of misconfiguration. You’ll learn how to design RBAC structures that match organizational hierarchies and operational workflows, ensuring users have exactly the access they need.
We also discuss common pitfalls, such as role sprawl, excessive privilege creep, and failure to regularly review roles. Best practices for maintaining a clean and secure RBAC system are shared, including role auditing and least-privilege enforcement. This is a critical concept in the Cloud+ exam and in real deployments, where improper access control can undermine even the most robust security measures.
