Explanation
The principle of least privilege means users should only have access to the resources they need to perform their job. Directory permissions (file system access controls) allow administrators to restrict who can read, write, or execute files and folders - so only authorized payroll staff can access salary data. Paper shredding addresses physical document disposal. Firewalls control network traffic at a broader level but don't enforce per-user file access. RFID badges control physical building access, not data access.
