Implement role-based access control (RBAC) for LangChain applications with multi-tenant support, model access control, and usage quotas.
Create Permission enum with chain, model, feature, and admin permissions. Define roles (viewer, user, power_user, admin) mapping to permission sets.
Create Tenant and User models with role-based permission resolution. Users belong to tenants with monthly token limits.
Build PermissionChecker with FastAPI decorators (@require_permission) that validate user permissions before chain execution.
Implement ModelAccessController that restricts LLM model access based on user permissions and tenant restrictions.
Use context variables (ContextVar) for tenant isolation. Implement TenantScopedVectorStore that filters by tenant ID.
Build UsageQuotaManager tracking per-tenant token usage with monthly resets and reporting.
See detailed implementation for complete RBAC code.
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| 403 Forbidden | Insufficient permissions | Check user role assignment |
| Tenant data leak | Missing isolation | Verify ContextVar propagation |
| Quota exceeded | High usage | Upgrade tenant token limit |
Basic usage: Apply langchain enterprise rbac to a standard project setup with default configuration options.
Advanced scenario: Customize langchain enterprise rbac for production environments with multiple constraints and team-specific requirements.
Use langchain-data-handling for data privacy controls.
