Problem Statement
Which principle states that a process or user should be given no more access than necessary to perform its job?
Explanation
The Principle of Least Privilege means that every process, user or system component should be granted only the privileges needed to complete its work and no more. Applying this principle leads to fewer unwanted side‐effects, less malware risk and better containment of faults. Interviewers often ask this to check security awareness in OS design.
