# Kafka Connect and RBAC for Confluent Platform

[Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)](../security/authorization/rbac/overview.md#rbac-overview) can be enabled for your
Confluent Platform environment. If RBAC is enabled, there are role bindings that you may
need to configure (or have set up for you) before you work with Connect  and
Connect resources. There are also RBAC configuration parameters that you
need to add to your Connect worker configuration and connectors.

Connect roles are managed by the RBAC system administrator for your
environment. Make sure to review your user principal, RBAC role, and
permissions with your RBAC system administrator before creating a Connect
cluster or connectors.

The following sections provide information about how to configure RBAC access
as it applies to Kafka Connect. For information about how to configure RBAC
for the overall Confluent Platform environment and other components, see [Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)](../security/authorization/rbac/overview.md#rbac-overview).
