Access Control

Domain: Internet & Web

🎯 Motivation

Rules defining who can access what. Read, write, execute permissions for each resource.

📋 Concrete Example

Access control: document grades.pdf: Alice (read, write), Bob (read), Carol (none). Each user has specific permissions for each resource. Enforced by the system.

🔗 Analogy

Access control is like room keycards in a school - students can enter classrooms, teachers can enter the staff room, the principal can enter anywhere. Each person has different access to different rooms.
