Roles get messy fast. At what point did you realise RBAC wasn't enough?

it starts clean. admin, editor, viewer. three roles, clear boundaries, everyone knows what they can do.

then the product grows. a customer needs access to one thing but not another. a team member needs editor rights in one context and read-only in another. someone asks for a role that's basically admin but without the billing tab. and suddenly you have eleven roles, three of them named some variation of 'editor-but-not-really,' and nobody is confident the permissions are actually right anymore.
