RBAC Best Practices
2024's top RBAC practices include dynamic role assignments based on user behavior and automated policy updates. Key actions include:

Implementing RBAC
Here's a sample JSON policy template for secrets.env in 2024:
{
"Role": "Engineer",
"Actions": [
"secrets:GetSecret",
"secrets:DescribeSecret"
],
"Resources": [
"*"
],
"Conditional": {
"Time": {
"Start": "09:00",
"End": "17:00"
}
}
}
