# Migrate from vault access policy to an Azure role-based access control permission model

Vault access policy model is an existing authorization system built in Key Vault to provide access to keys, secrets, and certificates. You can control access by assigning individual permissions to security principal(user, group, service principal, managed identity) at Key Vault scope.

Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC) is an authorization system built on [Azure Resource Manager](../../azure-resource-manager/management/overview.md) that provides fine-grained access management of Azure resources. With Azure RBAC you control access to resources by creating roles assignments, which consists of three elements: security principal, role definition (predefined set of permissions), and scope (group of resources or individual resource). For more information, see [Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC)](../../role-based-access-control/overview.md).
