[Verse 1]
Sarah from accounting needs her payroll sheets
But not the server logs or the network beats
Just enough access to complete her task
Why give her more than what her duties ask?
[Chorus]
Least privilege, minimum access
Only what you need to pass
Lock the doors to unused rooms
Extra rights invite their doom
Least privilege, trim it tight
Every permission justified right
[Verse 2]
Marketing manager uploads campaign files
Doesn't need database administrative styles
Grant him folders for his content creation
Skip the root access across the corporation
[Chorus]
Least privilege, minimum access
Only what you need to pass
Lock the doors to unused rooms
Extra rights invite their doom
Least privilege, trim it tight
Every permission justified right
[Bridge]
When attackers breach an account
Every privilege they can mount
Becomes a weapon in their hands
Escalating their demands
Trim permissions like pruning trees
Cut away what no one needs
[Verse 3]
Developer writes code for the mobile app
Needs version control but not the admin trap
Give him staging servers for his testing ground
Keep production locked and tightly bound
[Chorus]
Least privilege, minimum access
Only what you need to pass
Lock the doors to unused rooms
Extra rights invite their doom
Least privilege, trim it tight
Every permission justified right
[Outro]
Audit regularly what each role contains
Remove the excess that no job explains
Minimum necessary keeps us secure
Less access means threats can't endure
