Understanding Granular Access Control

Granular Access Control is a security practice that allows detailed, finetuned permissions to be set for users, applications, or devices accessing data or systems. It enables organizations to apply the principle of least privilege by precisely defining who can read, write, modify, or delete specific resources. This level of specificity enhances security by reducing unnecessary access and limiting the impact of potential breaches.
