Role-based Access Control
Secure your services with Role-based Access Control (RBAC)
Overview
Role-based Access Controls make it easy to grant and restrict access to Kong users and developers. By defining specific roles, Kong customers can define how a given individual or group of individuals can interact with Kong and the services exposed through the Kong platform. RBAC can restrict what users can change or view within Kong Manager and the Kong Developer Portal.

“As we evaluated API platforms, it was critical that the vendor we chose could simultaneously support our existing services in the public cloud with what we are building in Kubernetes. Kong offered us the ability to unify services across clouds, which gave us the flexibility to build new services iteratively and how we wanted without fear of cloud lock-in.”

VP of Engineering at SoulCycle
