Role Mapping

The architecture uses a hybrid of role based access control (RBAC) and attribute based access control (ABAC). Every API (a feature in software) is like an action that a system user can perform. Access to these actions is controlled based on who you are and what role you play in the system. In addition to the role, access is further controlled by user specific attributes.
