Description: User permissions are the rights granted to a user to access specific resources within a computer system. These permissions determine what actions a user can perform, such as reading, writing, modifying, or deleting files and directories, as well as accessing applications and services. Permission management is crucial for information security, as it allows control over who can do what within a system, thereby protecting sensitive data and ensuring that only authorized users have access to critical resources. Permissions can be assigned at the individual user level or to groups of users, facilitating administration in environments with multiple users. Additionally, permissions can be temporary or permanent, depending on the user’s access needs. In various computer systems and software platforms, permissions are an integral part of the security architecture, and their proper configuration is essential to prevent unauthorized access and maintain data integrity.
