What is Access Control

Access control management can be time-consuming when performed manually. However, access control, the process by which an administrator establishes whether a user can access services or resources on a network, is essential to maintaining a network’s health. Access control utilities automate this process, allowing an administrator to limit access by geography, role, or any criteria selected.
