Definitions | The granting of privileges that govern what an authority allows an entity (or its identity representation) to do. More precisely, we may distinguish: The act of granting the privilege (implicitly the outcome of a decision or policy rule) The privilege itself (either the abstract idea of its legitimacy coming from a decision or policy, or its real ) The physical representation of this privilege for example in a computer system) The verification of the privilege, often just before the entity performs an action to assure that the action was approved by the authority (e.g. at run-time)
