Ligipääsuga

Ligipääsuga is Estonian for “with access.” It is an adjective used to describe a person, system, or resource that has permission to reach a particular data, service, or location. The base noun ligipääs means access or entry, and the suffix -ga marks the instrumental, yielding the sense “with access.” The term is common in IT, data security, and organizational policy, but it also appears in everyday language to distinguish between restricted and accessible resources.

In information technology, ligipääsuga describes resources that a user or process is authorized to use. For example, ligipääsuga kasutajakonto refers to an account that has access rights to a system, and ligipääsuga andmed denotes data available to the authorized user. In physical security, it can describe spaces that require credentials, such as a ligipääsuga ruum or a door with controlled access. In legal and administrative contexts, the phrase emphasizes granted permissions rather than general availability.

Ligipääsuga is closely related to concepts such as ligipääs (access), ligipääsukontroll (access control), autoriseerimine (authorization), and autentimine (authentication). It is distinct from general accessibility (ligipääsetavus), which refers to usability or reachability for a broader user base rather than specific rights.
