## Resource

Episode 45 of Product-Led Growth with Fexingo dives into self-serve Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) — why PLG products like Notion and Figma treat permissions as a growth lever, not an admin headache. Lucas and Luna break down how RBAC reduces churn by letting team leads invite colleagues without friction, how usage-based RBAC tiers can drive upgrades, and why skipping RBAC in the self-serve flow often kills viral expansion. Specific examples from Airtable and Canva show how RBAC can be a hidden revenue driver. Tune in for a tactical deep dive on a feature that pays for itself. #ProductLedGrowth #RBAC #RoleBasedAccessControl #SelfServeSaaS #PLGStrategy #Notion #Figma #Airtable #Canva #TeamCollaboration #ViralLoops #UserActivation #RevenueGrowth #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SaaSPricing #UserPermissions Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
