Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Modal now offers Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for Team and Enterprise plans, building on the concept of Environments as secure access boundaries. This system allows for granular control over human and agent access to Modal resources, enabling the creation of Restricted Environments where only explicitly granted users or service users can deploy or manage applications. RBAC integrates with Audit Logs for comprehensive tracking and is the foundation for future agent-centric development tools. The new architecture supports spending and time-based limits per agent, programmatic access to permission primitives, and resource-based permissions, with Restricted Environments becoming the default.
