What is Privilege Separation?

Understanding Privilege Separation

Privilege Separation refers to the practice of restricting access and permissions within a system to ensure that individuals only have the privileges necessary to perform their specific tasks. This helps minimize potential damage in case of a security breach or unauthorized access by limiting the access rights of users to their roles and responsibilities, reducing the risk of widespread compromise.
