Walkthrough

A new documentation guide on role-based access control (RBAC) has been added, detailing roles and permissions within CodeRabbit. The sidebar structure was reorganized to introduce a "Manage your account" category, relocating related documents. "What's next" sections were appended to relevant guides to improve navigation between account management topics.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
sidebars.ts Added "Manage your account" category; updated item placements for "subscription-management" and "roles"; removed "subscription-management" from "Resources".
docs/getting-started/adding-organizations.md Appended "What's next" section linking to subscription management guide.
docs/getting-started/subscription-management.md Added "What's next" section linking to the new roles guide.
docs/guides/roles.md New guide added: "Control administrative access" explaining RBAC, roles, permissions, and usage.

Document RBAC support (#373)

Poem

A bunny hopped through docs anew,
With roles and rules in tidy view.
"Admins, Members, Billing too—
Here’s what each of you can do!"
Sidebars shift, links intertwine,
Account control, now clear by design.

1-4: Add concise frontmatter metadata
Consider adding a sidebar_label (for a shorter menu title) or sidebar_position to the frontmatter so this guide integrates smoothly into the sidebar navigation.


2-4: Rephrase description for conciseness
Rewrite the description as:
“Using CodeRabbit’s role-based access control (RBAC) feature”
to streamline and use the possessive form.


6-9: Clarify introductory sentence
Break or reword for readability, e.g.:
“Use CodeRabbit’s role-based access control (RBAC) to manage which administrative features your users can access.”


22-27: Refine the Billing Admin bullet for readability
The current phrasing is a bit awkward. Consider:
Billing Admin: allows read/write access to subscription and billing management features, plus limited access to other administrative functions.”


79-82: Standardize ordered list numbering
You’re using 1. on each step (which Docusaurus will auto-increment). Alternatively, you can explicitly number them 1., 2., 3.—pick one style and apply it consistently.


83-83: Remove redundant “of”
Change “table of all of the CodeRabbit Admin and Member accounts” to “table of all the CodeRabbit Admin and Member accounts.”

115-132: Polish the permissions table formatting
Ensure pipes and separators line up consistently, and verify uniform capitalization/hyphenation (e.g., “Read-only” vs “No access”). You might also bold the column headers to improve readability.


135-136: Add trailing newline
Include a blank line at the end of the file to satisfy POSIX newline conventions.

1-9: Clarify RBAC acronym and usage in frontmatter and introduction

The description and intro don’t explicitly define “RBAC” or use the acronym, even though this guide addresses role-based access control. Consider updating the frontmatter and intro copy to introduce “Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)” for consistency with the PR title and to help readers recognize the acronym.

22-27: Fix minor grammar in the Billing Admin definition

Remove the stray article “a” before “subscription and billing management” for smoother reading.

-**Billing Admin**: allows read/write access to features specific
-  to a subscription and billing management, and limited access to other administrative features.
+**Billing Admin**: allows read/write access to features specific

83-83: Streamline wording: drop unnecessary “of”

Per the static analysis hint, shorten the phrase “table of all of the CodeRabbit Admin and Member accounts” to “table of all CodeRabbit Admin and Member accounts”.

120-132: Table of role permissions looks comprehensive

The permissions matrix clearly enumerates capabilities per role and aligns with the guide’s intent. No changes needed here.
