Least Privilege
Security
Give only the access that’s truly needed.
Definition
Least privilege means a person or app should only get the minimum permissions required to do its job—nothing extra.
In plain English
Give only the access that’s truly needed.
Why this matters
Why it matters: If something goes wrong (mistake, bug, or hack), less access means less damage.
Example
Example: A calendar app shouldn’t need access to your contacts if it doesn’t use them.
