In ABAC, roles are expressed more in business terms and thus may be more understandable.

Explanation:

ABAC provides access rights based on user, environment, or resource attributes. ABAC takes a fine-grain approach with regards to access control.

This feature of ABAC makes it easier to express role in business term and become more understandable.
