DAC
(Discretionary Access Control)
Discretionary Access Control (DAC) is a type of access control system where the owner or administrator of a resource determines who can access it and what permissions they have. This model allows for flexible and user-centric control over resources.
In DAC, each resource has an access control list (ACL) that specifies the permissions for individual users or groups. While DAC offers flexibility, it can also lead to security risks if permissions are not managed carefully. It is commonly used in operating systems and file systems to manage user access to files and directories.
