# Role-Based Security

**Role-Based Security** is a mechanism that controls data access in the **Data Model** based on the **user's role**. Each user can only view the data that corresponds to their assigned permissions.

#### How It Works

* Users are assigned to one or more **roles**.
* Each role has its own **access rules**, defined in the Data Model (e.g., by row-level filters, schema access, or column-level restrictions).
* When a user accesses a report, the system automatically applies the corresponding filter conditions based on their role.
