Short answer
Authentication proves who someone is. It does not automatically prove which records and files they can access. The application rules and storage paths still need a repeatable boundary test.
When this decision matters
A portal, dashboard or file area is about to hold information for more than one customer.
Questions the setup must answer
- Can customer A request customer B’s record or file directly?
- Are administrator actions separate from customer actions?
- Do file links remain protected after they are copied?
- Which controls belong to the platform and which belong to the application?
How AppReadyLab will test it
01
Create synthetic tenants
02
Test normal and direct access paths
03
Document the responsibility boundary
Seven dimensions remain visible
A candidate can be inexpensive and still create a poor decision if recovery, ownership, access, or daily work is hidden. The final comparison keeps all seven dimensions available even when the user prioritises only two.
