permissions
Granted access levels
Permissions are authorizations to do something—access a place, use a resource, or take an action that would otherwise be restricted.
In computing, permissions control what users can do with files and systems: read permissions, write permissions, You don't have permission to access this folder.
The singular permission is the broader concept; the plural permissions typically refers to specific rights that can be granted or revoked.
