Designing roles and permissions in large platforms

In large platforms each role sees something different, and designing roles early saves a lot of rework.
Start by listing who uses the platform and what each needs to see and do, then turn that into clear permission groups with understandable names.
Let navigation and screens change by role, and do not just hide buttons; enforce permissions on the server too to protect data.
