Fine-grained Access Control

Fine-grained access control is a security method that allows precise regulation of who can access specific data or resources and under what circumstances. Unlike broad permissions, it enables organizations to define detailed rules—such as allowing an employee to view only certain customer information or edit specific documents—based on roles, attributes, or context. This approach enhances security by ensuring users only access what they need, reducing the risk of data breaches and maintaining compliance with privacy regulations. It provides a tailored, highly specific way to control access within complex systems or environments.
