12 Authentication vs. Authorization Authentication is a check of the credentials entered (user/password combination). If the information is valid, the user is authenticated. Authorization is a check to determine if an authenticated user can perform the requested action. If a user is not authenticated (bad credentials), authorization is not checked. If a user is authenticated (good credentials), but does not have rights to perform an action, authorization fails.
