Authorization

Authorization in IT is the process of granting access rights or permissions to users or systems. It ensures that once a user has been identified and authenticated, they can only access resources to which they are permitted to access.

Authorization acts as a control mechanism within computer systems and networks, protecting sensitive data and services. It determines what actions a user or program can take after logging in, such as viewing, editing, or deleting information. This process often works closely with authentication, which verifies a user’s identity. Together, these two steps help enforce security policies and limit exposure to threats by controlling what each user is allowed to do within a system.
