📖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.

📖Easily confused with

[{"term": "Right", "distinction": "A grant is a technical permission; a right is constitutional authority."}, {"term": "Allowlist", "distinction": "A grant is one permission recorded; an allowlist is the whole permitted set."}]

📖Also called

- permission
- access grant
