What is difference Between Authentication and authorization?..

Answer / Arjun Chaurasia

"Authentication and Authorization are two separate but related concepts in security. Authentication verifies the identity of a user, while Authorization determines what permissions or actions the authenticated user is allowed to perform. In other words:n1. Authentication: Who are you? (Verifying the identity)n2. Authorization: What can you do? (Granting access based on roles and permissions)"
