Role Based Access Control (RBAC) protects the system by assigning different access privileges to different user roles. User roles are then assigned to user accounts. A user's privileges on the system are determined by which roles the system administrator assigns to their account. Each account can be assigned one or more roles.

Some features of the product are accessible to all users. Others are accessible to only users whose user roles have the required permissions. If a user account does not have a role with permissions for a feature, then the menu choice for the feature is not displayed.
