| What is Access Control ? |
Access control is the ability to permit or deny the use of a resource by a user or computer. Access control systems provide the essential services of identification and authentication (I&A), authorization, and accountability where identification and authentication determine who can log on to use a resource, authorization determines what an authenticated user can do, and accountability identifies what a user did.
