Topic 1

  1. What is Role Based Access Control (RBAC)?

    • RBAC is a method of restricting network access based on the roles of individual users within an enterprise. RBAC lets employees have access rights only to the information they need to do their jobs and prevents them from accessing information that doesn’t pertain to them.

  2. Share an example of RBAC including all possible CRUD operations and correlating roles:

    • Example: A company has a database with information about all of its employees. The database has a table for each department. The company has 3 departments: Sales, Marketing, and Engineering. The company has 3 roles: Manager, Supervisor, and Employee. The company has 3 users: Bob, Sally, and Joe. Bob is a Manager in the Sales department. Sally is a Supervisor in the Marketing department. Joe is an Employee in the Engineering department. Bob can read, create, update, and delete information in the Sales table. Sally can read, create, and update information in the Marketing table. Joe can only read information in the Engineering table.

  3. What are the benefits of RBAC?

    • RBAC provides a number of benefits to an organization. In addition to the direct security benefits, RBAC can also provide indirect benefits by creating a more efficient, manageable environment that is less prone to error. The following are some of the benefits of RBAC:

      • Reducing administrative work and IT support.
      • Maximizing operational efficiency.
      • Improving compliance.
      • Improving security.
      • Reducing the likelihood of error.

  1. Describe some react-cookie library features:

    • react-cookie is a library that provides a simple, lightweight JavaScript API for handling browser cookies. react-cookie is an abstraction over the built-in document.cookie API. It makes cookies easier to use by providing a number of additional features:

      • Supports both server-side and client-side rendering.
      • Supports cookie expiration.
      • Supports cookie path and domain.
      • Supports cookie deletion.
      • Supports cookie serialization and deserialization.
      • Supports JSON cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between Number and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between Boolean and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between Object and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between Array and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between Date and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between RegExp and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between Map and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between Set and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between Symbol and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between Function and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between undefined and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between null and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between NaN and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between Infinity and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between -Infinity and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between BigInt and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between BigInt64Array and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between BigUint64Array and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between ArrayBuffer and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between DataView and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between Int8Array and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between Uint8Array and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between Uint8ClampedArray and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between Int16Array and String cookies.
      • Supports automatic conversion between Uint16Array and String cookies.

  2. Describe some react-cookies component features:

    • react-cookies is a component that provides a simple, lightweight JavaScript API for handling browser cookies. react-cookies is an abstraction over the built-in document.cookie API. This component makes cookies easier to use by providing a number of additional features:

      • Supports both server-side and client-side rendering.
      • Supports cookie expiration.
      • Supports cookie path and domain.
      • Supports cookie deletion.
      • Supports cookie serialization and deserialization.
      • Supports JSON cookies.

  3. Which library would you prefer would prefer? Why?

    • I would prefer react-cookie library because it is a library that provides a simple, lightweight JavaScript API for handling browser cookies. react-cookie is an abstraction over the built-in document.cookie API. It makes cookies easier to use and provides a number of additional features.

Things I Want to Know More About

  1. I would like to see better documentation describing the difference between the react-cookie library and the react-cookies component.
