# Role-Based Access Control Overview

> Explore topics related to access control, including role-based access control (RBAC), authorization policies, and the differences between Auth0's core authorization feature and the authorization extension.

Role-based access control (RBAC) is an authorization strategy to assign permissions to users based on defined roles in an organization. It offers a simple, manageable approach to access management that is less prone to error than assigning permissions to users individually.
