Hi! Fair point. We got two articles coming this month: RBAC vs ReBAC, and RBAC vs ReBAC vs ABAC - we'll post those here / in the article itself when ready.

For now, in short: RBAC (Role based) is a simple identity to role to permission mapping. ABAC (Attribute based) maps conditions on attributes to to permissions (technically can implement anything - mostly used for things like time based, quotas, location, etc.) ReBAC (relationship based) maps relations between identities and resources to permissions (e.g. if a user is related as an owner to a folder, and the folder contains a file, the user is the owner of the file) - commonly used for resource and organization hierarchies
