Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user, typically through credentials like usernames and passwords. Access control, on the other hand, is the practice of restricting and controlling user access to resources based on policies or rules, regardless of their identity. In essence, authentication verifies who you are, while access control determines what you are allowed to do or access.
Role-based access control (RBAC): Assigns roles to users and defines what actions each role is allowed to perform. Access control lists (ACLs): Lists of permissions attached to an object that specify which users or system processes are granted access. Biometric access control: Uses physical characteristics such as fingerprints or facial recognition to authenticate individuals. Two-factor authentication (2FA): Requires users to provide two forms of identification before granting access, such as a password and a unique code sent to their phone.

ODTAs can also revoke or modify these permission levels as needed, providing flexibility and control over data access and usage.
A role defines the responsibilities and access levels a user has within a system or organization, while a privilege is a specific permission granted within that role to perform certain actions or access certain resources. Roles set the broader scope of authority, while privileges provide granular control over what actions can be taken within that role.
