Role-based access (RBAC)
Permissions that limit each user to the pages and student data their job requires, with audit trails for sensitive changes.
Schools handle sensitive child data. RBAC ensures teachers see only their classes, finance sees fee records, and families see only their children.
Strong platforms gate both UI navigation and API routes so permissions cannot be bypassed from the browser console.
