Rollipõhisel

Rollipõhisel is an Estonian term that translates to "role-based" or "based on roles." It refers to a system or approach where access, permissions, or responsibilities are assigned to individuals based on the specific role they occupy within an organization or system. This contrasts with assigning permissions directly to individual users.

In a rollipõhisel system, roles are defined with a set of associated privileges or tasks. Users are then assigned one or more of these roles. For example, in a company, there might be roles like "Manager," "Employee," or "Administrator." Each role would have predefined access rights. A Manager might be able to approve expenses, while an Employee can submit them, and an Administrator can manage user accounts.

The primary advantage of a rollipõhisel approach is simplified management and enhanced security. When a new employee joins or an existing one changes positions, their access can be adjusted by simply assigning or removing roles, rather than individually modifying permissions for each user. This reduces the likelihood of errors and ensures that users only have access to the information and functions necessary for their role. It also makes auditing easier, as it's simpler to track who has access to what based on their assigned roles. This concept is widely applied in information technology, particularly in access control systems for software and networks, but also in organizational structures and workflow management.
