65. What is permission in drupal ?

In Drupal, a tool for controlling access to content creation, modification and site administration at the application level. Administrators assign permissions to roles, then assign roles to users. The first user of a Drupal site (User1) automatically receives all permissions.

In the case of files on UNIX systems, there are three types of permissions: read, write and execute.
