Authorization
Authorization grants an entity--such as a user or process--permission to make use of a particular service and determines exactly what the entity is permitted to do with that service. For example, Authorization Services is used to determine whether a specific user should be allowed to change a system preference. Developers can use authorization programming interfaces to control access to services provided by their applications. Both Objective-C and procedural C interfaces are provided. |
