Overview

This issue focuses on implementing and managing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) at the infrastructure level using Terraform. The goal is to create a modular, reusable, and well-documented RBAC setup that aligns with our effort to improve code readability and accessibility for junior developers.

Action Items

1. Define and Implement RBAC Roles and Policies

   • Identify the roles and permissions required for the infrastructure.
   • Implement these roles and policies using Terraform.

2. Modularize Terraform Configurations

   • Ensure that the RBAC configurations are modular and reusable across different environments.
   • Refactor existing Terraform code, if necessary, to improve modularity.

3. Documentation

   • Document the Terraform-based RBAC setup with a focus on clarity and accessibility for junior developers.
   • Include examples and guidelines for maintaining and extending the RBAC configuration.

4. Testing and Validation

   • Test the Terraform RBAC implementation in a staging environment.
   • Conduct security audits to ensure that roles and permissions are correctly enforced.

Resources/Instructions

A secure, modular, and well-documented Terraform-based RBAC setup that is easy for junior developers to understand and maintain.
