RBAC
Role-based access control (RBAC) defines who may access TLSPilot and what they may do, both in the Desktop Admin console and in the WebUI. You connect RBAC either to Active Directory or the local users of the management host, or to Entra ID. You usually set this up in the Initial Setup Wizard, see chapter Authentication and access, but you can also set it up or change it at any time in the settings on the tab RBAC, see chapter Set up RBAC in the settings. Like the WebUI, RBAC is available from the Enterprise edition. Entra sign-in applies only to the WebUI.
