Authorization Control System

An Authorization Control System is an access control system that requires explicit permission before executing actions.

• AKA: Authorization System, Permission System, Access Authorization System, Auth Control System.
• Context:
  • It can typically verify Permissions before allowing action execution.
  • It can typically enforce Policy Rules through access control mechanisms.
  • It can typically create Audit Trails for compliance tracking.
  • It can often validate User Consent through approval workflows.
  • It can often check Regulatory Compliance against legal requirements.
  • It can often enforce Operational Boundarys via scope limitations.
  • It can often implement Action Gatekeeping using safety checks.
  • It can range from being a Basic Authorization Control System to being an Advanced Authorization Control System, depending on its authorization control mechanism complexity.
  • It can range from being an Implicit Authorization Control System to being an Explicit Authorization Control System, depending on its permission protocol.
  • It can range from being a Manual Authorization Control System to being an Automated Authorization Control System, depending on its automation level.
  • It can range from being a Single-Domain Authorization Control System to being a Multi-Domain Authorization Control System, depending on its domain scope.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Enterprise Authorization Control Systems, such as:
    • AWS IAM Authorization Control System for cloud resource access.
    • Active Directory Authorization Control System for corporate network access.
    • Kubernetes RBAC Authorization Control System for container orchestration.
  • Application Authorization Control Systems, such as:
    • OAuth 2.0 Authorization Control System for third-party application access.
    • Database Authorization Control System for data access control.
    • API Gateway Authorization Control System for service endpoint protection.
  • Document Authorization Control Systems, such as:
    • SharePoint Authorization Control System for document collaboration.
    • Google Drive Authorization Control System for file sharing control.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Authentication System, which focuses on identity verification rather than permission management.
  • Monitoring System, which observes without authorization control.
  • Data Storage System, which lacks authorization enforcement.
