Beyond Roles and Attributes: Introducing EBAC and FeBAC

Most access control models were built for IT security, not for SaaS subscription businesses.
​
RBAC and ABAC answer “Is this user allowed into the system?”, but they fail when product, pricing and licensing change faster than roles and policies.

In the latest NetLicensing article, we introduce Entitlement-Based Access Control (EBAC) and Feature-Based Access Control (FeBAC) – a three-layer authorization approach that separates:
​🔸 Security (RBAC/ABAC)
🔸 Business entitlements (subscriptions, licenses, quotas)
🔸 Feature rollout and experimentation (feature flags, A/B tests)
​
If you run a multi-tier SaaS and struggle with role explosion, scattered feature flags, or keeping subscriptions in sync with what users see, this model is for you.
