=== GBAC
:term-name: GBAC
:hover-text: Group-based access control lets you manage Redpanda permissions at scale by assigning them to OIDC groups instead of individual users.
:category: Redpanda security

GBAC lets you manage Redpanda permissions at scale using the groups that already exist in your identity provider (IdP). You define access once for a group and your IdP controls who belongs to it. You can grant permissions to groups in two ways: create ACLs with `Group:<name>` principals, or assign groups as members of RBAC roles. Both approaches can be used independently or together.
