You have read permission on a file - generally used by humans, and UIs like on Google Drive etc to signify your ability to see a file at all, at some time, some location, from some machine.
You have authorization - you are allowed to see the file now, from this machine attached to this network in this geographic location using this type of authentication.
"I have permission to see this file, but I can't access it outside the corporate network" said many people lots of times.
- zogrodea 2y agoThe last example just points to two types of permissions coming from different sources. "Leadership gave me permission to view this file, but the computer/network doesn't permit me to do that."
- danielmarkbruce 2y agoYep, you could change the currently used meaning of permission to mean two different things, usually granted by two different processes. And you'd have confusion. No matter what you do here, there isn't a simple solution. It's complex.
