title: Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
weight: 20
---
Within Rancher, each person authenticates as a _user_, which is a login that grants you access to Rancher. As mentioned in [Authentication]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.6/en/admin-settings/authentication/), users can either be local or external.
After you configure external authentication, the users that display on the **Users** page changes.
- If you are logged in as a local user, only local users display.
- If you are logged in as an external user, both external and local users display.
## Users and Roles
Once the user logs in to Rancher, their _authorization_, or their access rights within the system, is determined by _global permissions_, and _cluster and project roles_.
- [Global Permissions]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.6/en/admin-settings/rbac/global-permissions/):
Define user authorization outside the scope of any particular cluster.
- [Cluster and Project Roles]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.6/en/admin-settings/rbac/cluster-project-roles/):
Define user authorization inside the specific cluster or project where they are assigned the role.
Both global permissions and cluster and project roles are implemented on top of [Kubernetes RBAC](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/). Therefore, enforcement of permissions and roles is performed by Kubernetes.
