dovoljenj

Dovoljenj is a term encountered in theoretical discussions of permission, licensing, and access control. It is not a standard entry in major Slovenian dictionaries and does not denote a widely recognized legal category by itself; rather, it is used as a focal concept to analyze how permissions are granted, verified, and enforced within systems of rules.

Definition and scope

Dovoljenj refers to the status of being authorized to perform a specific action, or to the act of granting such authorization, within a defined set of conditions. The term highlights the relational aspect between actor, action, and granting authority, rather than the tangible document or license itself. In this sense, dovoljenj can be seen as the abstract authorization that enables concrete actions under predefined rules.

Etymology

The word is formed from a Slavic root meaning “to permit” combined with a nominalizing suffix. In that respect, it resembles other theoretical terms used in legal and information-security discourse to discuss permissions as a structural concept rather than as a single artifact.

Contexts and usage

In information security, policy design, and licensing regimes, dovoljenj is used to analyze the logic of authorization, including the scope, duration, and conditions attached to an allowed action. It helps distinguish between the mere potential to act and enforceable permission that a system or authority may grant.
