Authorization is the process of giving a user permission to access a physical location or information-based resource (e.g., a document, database, application, or website).
Authorization is unfortunately used synonymously with authentication, but this is an error. Authentication occurs first, followed by authorization. Users need to prove their identities before a system can grant them permission to enter.
