Role Hierarchies

Role hierarchies in access control systems organize user permissions in a structured way. Think of it like a company structure: higher roles (like managers) inherit the permissions of lower roles (like employees), but also have additional privileges. This setup simplifies managing access, as assigning a higher role automatically grants all permissions of subordinate roles, reducing the need to assign permissions individually. It ensures clear, scalable control over who can access what, promoting security and efficiency within organizations.
