RootAsRole

Implements a structured RBAC model with role hierarchy and separation of duties, enabling scalable and precise privilege management beyond simple ACLs like sudo.

Grants specific Linux capabilities such as CAP_NET_RAW instead of full root access, enforcing the Principle of Least Privilege by default for enhanced security.

Uses CBOR for configuration, making it up to 77% faster than sudo with single rules and scaling 40% better as rule sets grow, ideal for automation tools like Ansible.

Prevents direct privilege escalation and supports untrusted authorized users through rigorous access controls, adding layers of security not found in traditional tools.

Includes tools like 'capable' for command rights analysis and 'gensr' for generating policies from Ansible playbooks, simplifying policy management and deployment.
