Autorizim

Autorizim is a term used in Albanian to denote the act of granting formal permission or the state of being authorized. In general usage, it refers to the authorization granted by an authority—an official permit or entitlement to perform a specific action, access a resource, or exercise a right. The word is derived from the Albanian cognates with international terms such as authorization, typically via influences from Latin and French.

In law and administration, autorizim describes the official grant of permission required to undertake actions that may affect safety, compliance, or public order. Examples include building permits, vehicle licenses, export licenses, and the authorization of officials to perform certain duties. Autorizim may be issued after evaluating qualifications, conditions, or regulatory compliance, and it can be subject to revocation or renewal.

In information technology and security, autorizim refers to the process of determining whether a user or system is permitted to access a resource after identity has been established (authentication). Authorization is policy-driven and employs mechanisms such as access control lists, role-based access control (RBAC), attribute-based access control (ABAC), and, in some contexts, capabilities. It can involve granting read, write, or execute permissions, controlling API access via tokens, and enforcing least-privilege principles. Standards and practices such as OAuth 2.0, SAML, and XACML support delegated or centralized authorization in distributed systems.
