Least privilege
Giving each person only the rights strictly necessary for their work, no more, no less.
Least privilege consists of limiting each person's or software's rights to the strict minimum needed. That way, if an account is hacked, the attacker can do much less damage. This principle also applies to technical accounts and is complemented by a regular review of access.
