What is Authorization?

Authorization is the process of determining whether a user or application has permission to access a specific resource or perform a specific action. It comes after authentication (verifying the user's identity) and focuses on what the authenticated user is allowed to do. Common authorization mechanisms include role-based access control (RBAC), attribute-based access control (ABAC), and access control lists (ACLs). Authorization is crucial for securing systems and data by preventing unauthorized access.
