Permission Aggregation: Permission aggregation is a concept in access control where the system calculates the effective permissions of a user by combining all the rights granted directly to the user and those obtained through group memberships or role assignments. It’s crucial in complex systems with layered security structures to understand a user’s combined permissions, which helps in enforcing the principle of least privilege and preventing excessive access rights.
