In this episode, we focus on authorization, which is distinct from authentication, as tested in the CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) certification exam. Authorization determines what resources a user can access and what actions they can perform after being authenticated. You’ll learn about permission settings, access control lists, and the concept of role-based access.
We’ll also cover the principle of least privilege, which limits user permissions to only what is necessary for their role. This reduces the risk of accidental or malicious misuse of systems and data. Understanding these concepts will help you identify the right security configurations for both the exam and real-world IT environments. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
