The process of identifying what a user can do. For example, after logging in to a system, a user may try to issue commands. Authorization determines whether the user is permitted to issue those commands. In some systems, authorization and authentication are merged into a single process.
In computer security, the right granted to a user to communicate with or make use of a computer system. (T)
Authority to perform a particular action in an SAP System. Each authorization refers to one authorization object and defines one or more permissible values for each authorization field listed in the authorization object. Authorizations are combined in profiles that are in a user's master record.
the process of granting permission to access and utilize a network service.
defines level of permission for changing or accessing information. ACLs are used to define the level of group or user privileges.
Permission for a person to perform certain SAP functions. Authorizations consist of three parts: person (needs a Kerberos ID), function (what he/she can do, e.g. reporting, requisitioning), and qualifier (where can the person perform this function, e.g. profit center, fund center, cost object). For example, Mary Smith can create requisitions for cost object 1234500.

permission given by the patient to allow a third party to have access to the patient's confidential information
(1) The act of associating access rights with an account (q.v.) or with a group (q.v.). In the IVO scheme, we expect most rights to be assigned to groups. (2) The act of checking that the sender of a request has the right to have the request carried out.

The process of determining what resources an authenticated user has access to.
The process of defining what a user can do; determines whether the user is permitted to issue certain commands. Authorization is sometimes merged with authentication.
The process of granting individuals rights of access to data and programs based on identity. Most computer security systems are based on a two-step process. The first stage is authentication, which ensures that a user is who he or she claims to be. The second stage is authorization, which allows the user access to various resources based on the user's identity. Once identity has been authenticated, individuals can see information and use programs that they have the authorization to use.
Giving individuals access to computer systems and other electronic resources based on their identity.
The process of deciding if a user (person, program, device, etc.) is allowed to have access to or take an action against a resource. Authorization relies on a trusted identity ( authentication) and the ability to test the privileges held by the user against the policies or rules governing that resource to determine if an action is permitted for a user.
Process of deciding if a requesting device is allowed to have access to a service on another device. Authorization always includes authentication.

The process of determining that the entity is authorized to do what they want to do. A drivers license authorizes the bearer to drive, and it has positive endorsements (e.g. motorcycles, trucks) and negative endorsements (must wear corrective lenses, must not carry passengers). An American social security card is a better example: it authorizes the bearer to work in the United States and to collect social security benefits. However, it doesn't have a picture of the bearer, so it cannot be used to authenticate that the bearer is who they claim to be. The /etc/passwd and /etc/group files are repositories of authorization information. Compare with authentication and identification.

Ensures that a user has access only to file system data that the user has the right to access. Just because a user is authenticated does not mean he or she should be able to read or modify any file. In the simplest form or authorization, users are given read or modify permissions to individual files and directories in a file system, through the use of access control information (called an Access Control List, or ACL.)

In relation to computers, especially to remote computers on a network open to more than one person, the right granted to an individual to use the system and the data stored on it. Authorization is typically set up by a system administrator, Web master, or site owner and checked and cleared by the computer.

On local computer networks as well as the Internet, authorization is the right granted to an individual to use the system and the data stored on it. Typically, a system administrator sets up authorization so that the computer or network can verify (" authenticate") user credentials (such as a code number or password) when the user logs on to the network or signs in to a Web site. Authorization is sometimes called "access privileges" or "permission." Compare with authentication.

Resources include individual files or items data, computer programs, computer devices and functionality provided by computer applications. Examples of consumers are computer users, computer programs and other devices on the computer.
