Understanding Discretionary Access Control

Discretionary Access Control (DAC) is a security model that restricts access to resources based on the identity and permissions assigned to individual users or groups. In DAC, owners of the resources have the discretion to determine who can access their resources and what level of access those users or groups have, allowing for granular control over permissions.
