Role-based access control (RBAC) is a security approach that restricts system access based on a user's assigned role within an organization. In React Native applications, this can be implemented by:

1. Defining different user roles (e.g., admin, user, guest)
2. Creating protected routes that check user permissions
3. Using Slot components to conditionally render content based on roles

This pattern is particularly powerful for:

• Protecting sensitive administrative features
• Implementing tiered subscription models
• Managing feature access based on user permissions
• Creating personalized user experiences

For example, you could restrict certain app features based on a user's subscription tier (free vs premium) or show different navigation options depending on whether someone is an admin or regular user.
