Description of problem:
The documentation for RBAC doesn't actually explicitly tell you how to enable the feature in the plugin's configuration title, it goes straight to a discussion about permission policies:
The steps to enable the RBAC plugin is also missing from the Guide "Configuring Dynamic Plugins" as is any discussion about how to enable any of the the plugins in the container image by converting the identifiers in the reference material @janus-idp/backstage-plugin-rbac to the actual path required ./dynamic-plugins/dist/janus-idp-backstage-plugin-rbac.
The "Using Dynamic Plugins" title also appears to be missing information on how to use the RBAC plugin to perform access control once the plugin is activated. This information is in the "Authorisation" title, but for other plugins (ArgoCD etc.) this information has been moved into the "Using" title. There is some inconsistency here in approach.
Long story short, enabling RBAC using the RHDH 1.3 documentation is a non-trivial exercise for the uninitiated. Finding the steps in the documentation is less intuative than it perhaps could be.
