Role-based access control is a business rule that belongs in the full system, not merely the navigation menu.
Define actors and resources
List roles, record types and permitted actions such as view, edit, approve, export or delete. Include edge cases and exceptions.
Enforce on the server
Mobile applications can be modified or instrumented by attackers. A disabled UI button does not replace API authorization.
Practical lens: The best decision depends on users, the existing business system, data risk and the outcome the app needs to deliver. Validate these conditions before committing to features.
Review changes over time
Staff transfers, account deactivation and temporary access require lifecycle controls. Cached data should be handled when roles change.
Audit sensitive operations
High-impact approvals and data exports may need appropriate logs and periodic review without collecting unnecessary information.
Example from a business workflow
A sales executive who changes territory should not continue accessing the prior territory's customer records through a stored token.
Questions to take into your project discussion

What to do next
Write a one-page summary of your user groups, current workflow, necessary integrations and decisions still open. Evaluate trade-offs against those facts. For an Android-specific requirement, Archeet Infotech can discuss the implementation scope; work such as specialist SEO or hosting belongs with the relevant group concern.
These official resources explain relevant Android and platform practices. Project-specific decisions require verification at implementation time.
