    Authorization

    The process of determining what actions an authenticated user is allowed to perform.

    Why it matters

    • Ensures users only access what they should
    • Protects sensitive data and operations
    • Enables multi-tenant applications

    When to use

    • When different users have different permissions
    • When protecting sensitive operations
    • For any multi-user system

    Common mistakes

    • Checking authorization only in the UI
    • Not validating on every request
    • Making authorization too complex to maintain
