user rights

Account access levels

User rights are permissions granted to individuals within a system—typically digital platforms, software, or organizations.

In computing, user rights determine what actions an account can perform: reading files, installing software, modifying settings.

The administrator granted her user rights to access the database.

In broader contexts, user rights may refer to consumer protections or the entitlements of people using services.
