Vercel enhances RBAC with multi-role support and granular permissions.
Executive Summary
Vercel has updated its Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system for Enterprise teams, enabling the assignment of multiple roles to a single user. The update introduces a new dedicated "Security" role and a set of "extended permissions" that provide more granular control over actions like project creation, production deployments, and environment variable management. These enhancements are integrated with Access Groups via Directory Sync to give large organizations more precise and flexible security controls.
