What is a User Account with Authority?

A User Account with Authority (802.1X) is a network access control protocol that authenticates devices before granting network access. It requires users or devices to provide valid credentials, such as a username and password. 802.1X uses an authentication server to verify the credentials before allowing network access. This protocol helps secure the network by ensuring only authorized devices can connect. It is commonly used in wired and wireless networks to enhance security.
