| * ACL (Access Control List): Stemming from its historical roots in the Unix file system, ACLs provide a list of permissions attached to an object. They are inherently a means to define which user have access to specific objects and the operations they can perform on them. | ||
|
|
||
| * RBAC (Role-Based Access Control): A more structured approach, RBAC assigns permissions to specific roles rather than individual users. Users are then assigned to roles. This model offers simplicity and scalability, especially in larger systems where defining permissions for each user can become unwieldy. | ||

|

| * ABAC (Attribute-Based Access Control): A more dynamic approach, ABAC bases access decisions on policies derived from various attributes—be it of the user, the resource, or even the surrounding environment. For instance, a document might only be accessible during working hours or if a user is located in a specific country. This approach provides nuanced, context-aware authorization. |

for each of those, it would be nice to see a very simple one-sentence example. something less abstract. or maybe something like: This would be most appropriate for a Twitter-Like/Multipalyer Game/Finance Administration/Planning Software/... Or maybe a comparison to an analog human equivalent? for example: in medieval times, only the king could do some things, while other things could be done by people with a wax-sealed letter
