What is Role-Based Access Control?

RBAC keeps the blast radius small: a developer sees their team's repositories, a security lead sets policy, an auditor reads without changing anything. It is what makes a tool safe to roll out organisation-wide.

The capability everyone checks too late is who can dismiss a finding or bypass a gate. If that is available to every user by default, your policy is advisory regardless of how the gates are configured.

Top 20 Role-Based Access Control tools

Every tool in the directory documented as supporting Role-Based Access Control, 18 fully, 2 partially, with what its own documentation says.

Support is not the same as parity, since some implementations are narrower in scope, gated to a higher plan tier, or maintained only for existing customers. The note under each tool is what its own documentation describes.
