Entitlement is a set of rules defined by the resource owner for managing access to a resource (asset, service, or entity) and for what purpose.

• A. IAM
• B. Entitlement
• C. Trusted Path
• D. Provisioning Identities

Answer: (B)

Entitlement is the specific set of access rights and rules defined by the resource owner to manage who can do what with a resource, under which conditions, and for what purpose. This focuses on the exact permissions, privileges, and constraints that govern access to an asset, service, or entity, making it the precise term for how an owner determines access. In contrast, IAM is the broader framework that covers authentication, authorization, policy management, and auditing across an organization, within which entitlements are the concrete rights assigned to identities. Provisioning identities deals with creating, updating, or removing user identities, while a trusted path concerns secure channels for input and credential handling.
