## 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.&#x20;

Below table shows what roles are given to each user persona:
