Mandatory access control. In computer security, mandatory access control (MAC) refers to a type of access control by which a secured environment (e.g., an operating system or a database) constrains the ability of a subject or initiator to access or modify on an object or target. [1] In the case of operating systems, the subject is a process or ...
The controls are discretionary in the sense that a subject with a certain access permission is capable of passing that permission (perhaps indirectly) on to any other subject (unless restrained by mandatory access control). Discretionary access control is commonly discussed in contrast to mandatory access control (MAC). Occasionally, a system ...
In computer systems security, role-based access control (RBAC) [1][2] or role-based security[3] is an approach to restricting system access to authorized users, and to implementing mandatory access control (MAC) or discretionary access control (DAC). Role-based access control is a policy-neutral access control mechanism defined around roles and ...
In computer security, an access-control list (ACL) is a list of permissions [a] associated with a system resource (object or facility). An ACL specifies which users or system processes are granted access to resources, as well as what operations are allowed on given resources. [1] Each entry in a typical ACL specifies a subject and an operation.

File-system permissions. Most file systems include attributes of files and directories that control the ability of users to read, change, navigate, and execute the contents of the file system. In some cases, menu options or functions may be made visible or hidden depending on a user's permission level; this kind of user interface is referred to ...
However, users usually do not change their privacy settings unless they personally experience a privacy invasion or unintentionally share information. [19] In a study exploring the connection between Facebook attitudes and behaviors, having a friend experience a privacy invasion ( e.g. someone hacking into their profile) did not lead to one ...
Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is a Linux kernel security module that provides a mechanism for supporting access control security policies, including mandatory access controls (MAC). SELinux is a set of kernel modifications and user-space tools that have been added to various Linux distributions. Its architecture strives to separate ...
