ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

AGDLP

AGDLP is a way to help people who work with computer files make sure everyone can find and use the files they need. It stands for "Account, Global, Domain Local, and Permission".

Think of AGDLP like playing with little toy people. Each toy person has a name tag that says what they can and can't do. One toy person might be able to climb up the slide, while another can only go down the slide. Another toy person might be able to go on the swings, but not on the seesaw. When you play with these toy people, you need to make sure that each one is doing the things they are allowed to do.

In a computer system, we have lots of different files and folders that people need to be able to use. Just like the toy people, we need to make sure that each person who uses the computer system is only able to access the files and folders that they are allowed to access.

The first tag in AGDLP is the "Account" tag. This is like the name tag for the toy people - it tells the computer who you are. The second tag is "Global", which means that your name tag applies to lots of different computer systems. The third tag is "Domain Local", which means that your name tag only applies within a certain group of people who work together. And the fourth tag is "Permission", which tells the computer what you are allowed to do with the files and folders you can access.

So when we use AGDLP, we are making sure that each person who accesses our computer system is identified by their "Account" tag, and that tag is then checked against the other three tags to make sure they are only able to access the files and folders they are supposed to be able to access. This helps to keep the computer system organized and makes it easier for people to find the files they need.
