# Data access control













## Default user

When you create a Redis Cloud database, your database is given a randomly generated password called the [**Default user password**](http://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/security/access-control/data-access-control/default-user). Learn how to [change the default user password](http://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/security/access-control/data-access-control/default-user#change-password) or [turn off default user access](http://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/security/access-control/data-access-control/default-user#turn-off-default-user).

## Role-based access control

With [role-based access control (RBAC)](http://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/security/access-control/data-access-control/role-based-access-control.md), you create roles and assign users to those roles to grant different levels of access to the database.
