Least privilege is the data access principle that ensures to unnecessary access to data exists by regulation members so that can perform only minimum data manipulation necessary. The principle of least privilege or as called as POLP is the run-through of controlling access to the minimal level that will permit normal functioning. The norm of least privilege interprets to giving people the lowermost level of user right that they can have and still do their jobs. The principle is also functional to things other than people as well as programs and processes. It is created in the US department of defense in the 1970’s and aimed to limit the potential damage of any security breach either accidental or malicious.
