How to think about RBAC for admin dashboards, including guarded actions, server-side checks, and UI behavior.
The UI is not the source of truth
Buttons can disappear for convenience, but authorization still belongs on the server. The interface should explain access, not enforce it alone.
Design permissions around actions
It is easier to maintain permissions like invite, approve, export, suspend, and refund than broad labels that mean different things across modules.
Audit sensitive flows
For admin portals, permission changes, exports, destructive actions, and account updates should leave a useful trail.
