" summary

Red Hat ships an rbac plugin that configures roles, user/group bindings and permissions via a Backstage UI and plugs into the Backstage permissions framework, with conditional policies planned next release. A set of software templates embeds SBOM generation, signing, provenance/attestation, image scanning and policy enforcement to reduce supply‑chain risk. More than 50 validated plugins are certified so far (about 150 exist), with a plugin catalog for install/enable/disable and an orchestrator plugin for long‑running, conditional, parallel and hierarchical workflows plus UI notifications. Commercial on‑prem Backstage runs on any Kubernetes.
