Authentication and authorisation
1. Authentication and authorisation
A student logs in successfully to the school portal but is blocked from opening the teachers' marks page. Which statement is correct?
- Authentication succeeded but authorisation prevented access to the page
- Authorisation failed because the password was wrong
- Authentication failed because the student has no permission for the page
- Accountability prevented the page from loading
Answer
A
Authentication proves who you are (login). Authorisation decides what you may do or see after you are authenticated.
