The Complete Strapi™ Course with Plugins and Deployment - Admin RBAC: Restricting Plugin Use to Specific Roles

The video tutorial explores how to implement role-based access control (RBAC) in Strappy, focusing on setting up granular permissions for plugins. It covers the process of editing the bootstrap.js file to register actions and permissions, and how these can be used to control access to specific routes and menu items. The tutorial also discusses the limitations of the community edition of Strappy, particularly in terms of editing permissions for different roles. Finally, it demonstrates testing the setup by inviting a new user and verifying the visibility of plugin links based on roles.
