👉 Computing privileges, also known as user permissions or access rights, refer to the specific capabilities and restrictions granted to individual users or groups within a computing system or environment. These privileges determine what actions a user can perform on files, directories, and other resources, such as read, write, execute, or delete. They are essential for maintaining security and order within a system, ensuring that users only have access to the resources necessary for their roles and preventing unauthorized modifications or data breaches. Privileges are typically assigned by system administrators and can be further refined through role-based access control (RBAC) or other management techniques to provide granular control over system resources.
