nieautoryzowany

Nieautoryzowany is an Polish adjective meaning not authorized, lacking official permission or consent. It is formed with the prefix nie- attached to autoryzowany (authorized). Semantically, it describes actions, access, or items that have not received proper authorization.

In everyday and formal use, nieautoryzowany describes situations where permission has not been granted or where authorization processes have not been completed. Common phrases include nieautoryzowany dostęp do danych lub systemów, nieautoryzowane ujawnienie informacji, nieautoryzowana kopia lub dystrybucja materiałów chronionych prawem autorskim, and nieautoryzowane modyfikacje.

In information security and data protection contexts, the term is often contrasted with autoryzacja and uwierzytelnianie. Autoryzacja refers to permission checks that determine what a user may do; nieautoryzowany dostęp occurs when such checks fail or are bypassed. In prawodawstwo, działania nieautoryzowane mogą naruszać prawa własnosci intelektualnej, prywatność danych lub warunki umów, leading to odpowiedzialność cywilną lub karną.

Notes: Nieautoryzowany and nieuprawniony are closely related; the latter is more common in formal contexts to emphasize lack of rights, while nieautoryzowany often highlights absence of permission granted by an authority. Both terms appear in policy documents, compliance guidelines, and media reporting. In practice, distinctions are shaped by jurisdiction and the specific domain (security, copyright, contracts).
