Access control is the practice of restricting access to files, systems, and resources based on the principle of least privilege. It ensures that only authorized users have the necessary permissions to access specific files or data. For instance, in a company's document management system, access control can be used to limit access to sensitive financial documents to only authorized employees, while restricting access for others. This prevents unauthorized individuals from accessing, modifying, or sharing confidential information, contributing to file security.
