Feature Announcement: Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Humanitec, an Internal Developer Platform, has made Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) generally available to Operations teams and Managers, allowing them to control access to certain information and actions such as deployments to production. RBAC is a way of managing authorization where permissions are collected into roles assigned to users based on their job or function within the organization. This makes managing permissions easier by considering the job a user has rather than exact permissions on a case-by-case basis, reducing maintenance and security risks and preventing accidental changes to sensitive areas. In Humanitec, RBAC enables developers to collaborate efficiently without worrying about security issues, with roles covering Organization, Application, and Environment Types, including Member, Manager, Administrator, Viewer, Developer, and Owner Roles. The "Principle Of Least Privilege" (POLP) is recommended when planning the RBAC strategy to ensure users have only the minimum set of permissions necessary for their job, making it possible to limit access to production environments, applications, and resources based on user roles and responsibilities.
