What does role-based access control mean in Care Everywhere?

• A. Access is granted based on user roles and permissions
• B. Access is granted to all users by default
• C. Access is controlled by time-of-day
• D. Access is randomly assigned

Answer: (D)

Role-based access control means access privileges are tied to a user’s role and its defined permissions. In Care Everywhere, each user is assigned a role—such as clinician, nurse, or administrator—and that role specifies what patient data you can view, edit, or act upon. This setup enforces the least-privilege principle: people only access what they need to do their job, reducing unnecessary exposure of information. It also makes managing access easier—when someone changes roles or leaves, you adjust or remove their role rather than editing individual permissions.

Access isn’t granted to everyone by default, nor is it controlled by time-of-day or randomly assigned, which is why those options don’t describe how RBAC works.
