Role-based access control system

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media that store computer-readable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, perform a method for role-based access management within a group-based communication system, the method comprising:

• determining that a first role is assigned to a first user, the first role associated with a first set of permissions,
• wherein the first role is assigned to the first user within an external application distinct from the group-based communication system;
• allowing the first user to access a first set of data shared within the group-based communication system based on the first set of permissions associated with the first role;
• and
• determining that a second role is assigned to the first user, the second role associated with a second set of permissions,
• wherein the second role is distinct from the first role and the second set of permissions is distinct from the first set of permissions.
