Explanation:

Usually preceded by authentication (which means confirming the identity of a user), authorization is the process of granting access level rights to a user to use an organization's resources such as IT assets, systems, applications, and files.

By access level rights, we mean that depending on the level of authority of the user, they can access certain resources.
