📖What it means
A recorded permission: this principal may do this thing to this resource. Grants are explicit and reviewable — the opposite of a permission that exists only because nothing happened to stop it.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Right
A grant is a technical permission; a right is constitutional authority.
Not: Allowlist
A grant is one permission recorded; an allowlist is the whole permitted set.
