Authorization

Authorization is a fundamental concept in IT security that defines and regulates the level of access an authenticated user or system has to resources within a network, application, or database. While authentication verifies who someone is, authorization determines what they can do.

The Authorization process is crucial in protecting sensitive data, systems, and operations from unauthorized access or malicious actions. It ensures users can only interact with the resources and functionalities explicitly granted to them based on predefined policies.
