Authorisation

Definition

The process of deciding what an authenticated user is allowed to do or see within a system.

Why it matters

Good authorisation keeps users from accessing things they should not, protecting your data and your customers.

Example

Authorisation rules let admins edit settings while normal users can only view them.
