AutheNtication vs. AuthoriZation, I believe
How's that supposed to help?
AuthN is: I claim to be dreadgoat, but how can I prove it? (login, password, mfa)
AuthZ is: Now that you know I am dreadgoat, do I have permission to post this comment? (access control, roles, attributes)
This is a great explanation, thank you.
I deal mainly with authorization and I'm not sure I've ever had the differences explained this simply (so I incorrectly lump them together)
