The principle of least privilege requires users to receive only the minimum permissions needed to perform their duties. Granting read-only access to just the necessary folders limits potential misuse or compromise. Giving managers blanket full control, providing temporary administrator rights to all staff, or giving network administrators unfettered access to HR data exceed what each role truly needs and therefore violate least-privilege guidance.
