Data Science Model Deployments and Cloud Computing on GCP - Authorization (AuthZ)

The video tutorial explains the concept of authorization (auth Z) in applications, detailing how it determines what a user is allowed to do after authentication. It uses examples of users with different access levels to illustrate how permissions are managed. The tutorial also includes a code demonstration showing how authorization is implemented, allowing users to access different parts of an application based on their roles.

What is the primary role of authorization in an application?

• To log user activities

• To identify the user

• To determine what the user can do

• To encrypt user data

• 7

• 5

• 3

• 1

How many messages can Baxter access after his access level is changed to 7?

• Six

• Five

• Four

• Three

What does the code use to determine which messages a user can access?

• User's password

• User's access level

• User's email

• User's login time

What is the relationship between user roles and authorization?

• Roles are unrelated to authorization

• Roles determine the user's password
