Difference Between Authorization And Authentication

Authentication is the process to test whether the specific user is allowed to use or login to the application.

And

Authorization we test whether the specific user allowed to access some controls or features of the system/application/software.

Eg: In an office automation tool, every employee can login to the application, but only accounts manager can access accounts related features, only HR manager or executive can access company information
