Windows Access Control

Windows Access Control manages who can see, modify, or run files and programs on a computer. It works by assigning permissions—like read, write, or execute—to users or groups, ensuring only authorized individuals can access specific resources. This system helps protect sensitive data and maintain security by controlling access based on predefined rules. Essentially, Windows Access Control acts as a gatekeeper, granting or restricting user actions to keep the system safe and functioning properly.
