közfelhasználók

Közfelhasználók is a term used in Hungarian information technology and IT governance to refer to users who access shared resources or services provided by an organization, typically representing the general or non-privileged user base. The phrase is not as standardized as some other classifications, and its exact meaning can vary between organizations. In many cases it denotes end users who operate within defined policies without administrative privileges.

The concept contrasts with privileged users, such as system administrators or operators, who have higher levels of access and control. KöZfelhasználók may access public or semi-public services, shared computers, or multi-user applications. They are often the focus of usability and security considerations, because their interactions with systems must be simple, reliable, and safe, while minimizing the risk posed by careless handling or compromised devices. Access is typically governed by authentication mechanisms, role-based access control, or other forms of authorization, with attention to least privilege and activity auditing.

Security and privacy implications are central when managing közfelhasználók. Shared accounts or public terminals raise concerns about accountability, data protection, and the potential for misuse. Organizations address these issues through user education, clear usage policies, session timeouts, and robust logging. Onboarding and offboarding processes for közfelhasználók are important to maintain license compliance and reduce residual access.

Common contexts include municipal or public sector portals, library or community center IT services, and multi-tenant applications designed for broad user bases. The term sits alongside other classifications such as end users (végfelhasználók) and administrators, helping to describe user groups in policy and architecture documents.
