rbac_utils = Utils(token)

Validating A Token Locally:

Ensures valid 'nbf' claim, 'exp' claim and RBAC signature on the given token.

is_valid = rbac_utils.validate_token() 

Validating A Token From Server:

Ensures valid 'nbf' claim, 'exp' claim and RBAC signature on the given token. Also checks if the token has been invalidated in the RBAC due to other reasons such as change in user's properties that are part of the token payload (Eg: roles, permissions, etc)

is_valid = rbac_utils.validate_with_server()

Getting User Roles From Token:

Get the list of roles defined in the token.

roles = rbac_utils.get_user_roles()

Checking For A Role On The Token:

Check if the given roles is present in the token.

is_role_present = rbac_utils.is_user_role_present('OPS')

Obtaining User Details From A Token:
