Answer 1

Access control is very important in the data security.

I would like to give you an example case below:

In a company there will be levels of employers like contract employees,employees, assistant managers, managers, General managers, chief executive officer etc.

So we cannot make available all of our data to the above ranks.

There should be limitations for different levels.

Like employees should not allowed look after our financial conditions, appraisal details, other employee details etc.

So, access control plays a major role in smooth functioning of the organization.

It provides integrity and confidentiality among the mangers and workers.

If access control not available:

It leads to a mess state among the employees and managers cause unnecessary problems and affects the control flow and smoothness.

Leads to data breaches, data loss etc.

Breaks company's reputation and market value.
