An acceptable use policy (AUP) (also acceptable usage policy or fair use policy (FUP)) is a set of rules applied by the owner, creator, possessor or administrator of a computer network, website, or service that restricts the ways in which the network, website or system may be used and sets guidelines as to how it should be used.
Group Policy was enhanced following its initial release in Windows 2000. For example, Windows XP has introduced a new feature called Group Policy Update which replaced the secedit command. [22] This feature allows an administrator to force a group policy update on all computers with accounts in a particular Organizational Unit.
Facebook's data policy outlines its policies for collecting, storing, and sharing user's data. [121] Facebook enables users to control access to individual posts and their profile [122] through privacy settings. [123] The user's name and profile picture (if applicable) are public.
Role-based access control is a policy-neutral access control mechanism defined around roles and privileges. The components of RBAC such as role-permissions, user-role and role-role relationships make it simple to perform user assignments. A study by NIST has demonstrated that RBAC addresses many needs of commercial and government organizations. [4]
Some systems diverge from the traditional POSIX model of users and groups by creating a new group – a "user private group" – for each user. Assuming that each user is the only member of its user private group, this scheme allows an umask of 002 to be used without allowing other users to write to newly created files in normal directories ...
With groups, the task is much simpler: [1] create a student group and a staff group, placing each user in the proper group. The entire group can be granted access to the appropriate directory. [1] To add or remove an account, one must only need to do it in one place (in the definition of the group), rather than on every directory. This workflow ...

Using a secret method (initially known as EdgeRank), Facebook selects a handful of updates to actually show users every time they visit their feed, out of an average of 1500 updates they can potentially receive.
A user's access level depends on which rights (also called permissions, user groups, bits, or flags) are assigned to accounts. There are two types of access leveling: automatic and requested. User access levels are determined by whether the Wikipedian is logged in, the account's age and edit count, and what manually assigned rights the account has.
