The process of verifying whether an authenticated entity has the right to perform a specific action on a specific resource. Answers the question: what can this user or system do?
Why it matters
Determines that a logged-in user sees only what belongs to them. Authentication answers 'who', authorization answers 'what is allowed'; without the latter, any logged-in user could do anything.
What's missing without it
Without authorization, an intern has the same capabilities as an administrator — one click could delete someone else's work or expose customer data.
When it is used
With every system request after login: editing, publishing, exporting, deleting.
How we use it
After logging in, the system checks whether an editor can publish an article, not just edit it.
