Most often used in cases where users directly own certain resources and can independently decide who to allow interaction with them.Īn example would be operating systems or social networks, where people independently change the visibility of their content. This paradigm allows users to independently grant the right to any action on their data to other system participants, for which access control lists ( ACL) are used. Let’s take a look at the basic access control models: The authorization process includes the concept of access control policy, in accordance with which the set of permissible actions of a particular user (access subject) over the system resources (access objects) is determined.Īnd also the access control model is a general scheme for delimiting access through a user policy, which we choose depending on various factors and system requirements. It’s important to understand the difference between authorization and authentication:Īuthentication – a process of verifying your identity and proving that you are a user of the system (by means of a password, token or any other form of credentials).Īuthorization - a mechanism whose task is to allow or deny a request for a specific system resource.Īccess subject – a user or process that is requesting access to the resource.Īccess object – on the contrary, it’s a resource to which access is requested by the subject.Ĭrate – a library or executable (binary) program in Rust. I think many of you are familiar with these concepts and in this article we will focus on the concept of authorization and related access control models. To ensure application security, we use mechanisms such as authentication and authorization.
