Explanation:
Role based access control contains components of MAC (mandatory access control) and DAC
(discretionary access control), and is characterized by its use of profiles. A profile is a specific role
that a group of employees perform in a function and the resources they need access to. When an
employee is hired he is put into a profile, and when the entire profile of workers needs more or
less resources they can all be facilitated together.
