Role-Based Access Control for Admins

Universities are asking if your system allows them to give different levels of access to different administrators. Instead of everyone having 'super admin' powers, can they set up roles like 'can view but not change,' 'can manage users but not system settings,' etc.? It's like having different keys for different doors rather than one master key for everything.

RBAC is often mandatory for university deployments due to internal policies and compliance requirements. Without it, institutions can't properly segregate duties or limit access based on job roles, creating compliance violations and security risks. Systems with granular RBAC reduce insider threats, simplify audit compliance, and enable larger deployments where many people need different access levels. Lack of RBAC forces universities to either reject your solution or implement expensive workarounds that increase operational costs.

Many vendors confuse basic user permissions with true RBAC. Having 'admin' and 'user' isn't RBAC - universities need granular, customizable roles. Another mistake is implementing RBAC that's too complex or rigid. If creating and managing roles requires vendor intervention or extensive training, IT teams will resist adoption. The sweet spot is flexible but intuitive role management.
