Understanding Permissions and Access Control: What Does "Allow" Mean?

In the context of permissions and access control, "allow" typically means to grant permission or access to something.

For example, if a user is trying to access a certain resource or perform a certain action, and they don't have the necessary permissions, the system might display an error message saying "You do not have permission to perform this action." However, if the user has the necessary permissions, the system might allow them to access the resource or perform the action without any issues.

In other words, "allow" in this context means to give someone the ability to do something that they might not otherwise be able to do. It's the opposite of "deny," which means to withhold permission or access to something.
