Computer authorization

What is an IT authorization?

Authorization gives the user explicit permission to access a specific resource or function.

It is granted after successful authentication of the user, and requires precise definition of the rights and privileges assigned to the user.

Authorization ensures that only people with the necessary rights can perform specific actions or access particular resources.
