AUTHENTICATION
Authentication is the process of establishing the identity of a person or service looking to access a resource. It involves the act of challenging a party for legitimate credentials, and provides the basis for creating a security principal for identity and access control use. It establishes if they are who they say they are.
AUTHORIZATION
Authorization is the process of establishing what level of access an authenticated person or service has. It specifies what data they're allowed to access and what they can do with it. Authentication is sometimes shortened to AuthN, and authorization is sometimes shortened to AuthZ. Azure provides services to manage both authentication and authorization through Azure Active Directory (now Microsoft Entra).
