Implementing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

When implementing RBAC in a peer-to-peer communication system, consider the following best practices:

Least-Privilege Principle: Assign the minimum required permissions for each role to perform necessary functions.
Role Hierarchy: Implement hierarchical roles to simplify permissions management and ensure scalability.
Token-Based Authentication: Use secure tokens (JWT, OAuth) to authenticate users and verify roles.
Dynamic Role Management: Enable real-time role updates to avoid stale permissions.
Audit and Logging: Regularly audit role assignments and monitor access logs to detect potential security breaches.
