Explain the connection between role-based access control (RBAC) and groups.

What will be an ideal response?


Role-based access control (RBAC) is the most popular model used in file sharing. RBAC defines a user's access to a resource based on the roles the user plays in the network environment. This leads to the idea of creating groups. A group in most networks is nothing more than a name that has clearly defined accesses to different resources. User accounts are placed into various groups.
