  "account": "Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is crucial for engineering organizations as they scale. The NEXUS AI RBAC system makes granting permissions easy while preventing accidental expansions of access. NEXUS AI defines four roles: Viewer, Developer, Admin, and Owner. Each role has increasing levels of permission, with Owner having the highest authority.\n\nViewers can only see deployment status, logs, and metadata. Developers can deploy, redeploy, and rollback, and view secret names. Admins manage platform configuration, create and manage secrets, and invite team members. Owners have the ability to delete the organization and perform irreversible actions.\n\nScopes further refine permissions granted through tokens. They define what a token can do, based on the role of the token creator. Tokens cannot have permissions exceeding the creator's role. This prevents privilege escalation through access tokens. RBAC ensures that permissions are granted easily, but difficult to expand, promoting the principle of least privilege.",
