access permitted to logon IDs and computer terminals
,Access Method - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The technique used for
selecting records in a file, one at a time, for processing, retrieval or

Address - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Within computer storage, the
code used to designate the location of a specific piece of data
Address Space - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The number of distinct
locations that may be referred to with the machine address. For most
binary machines, it is equal to 2n, where n is the number of bits in the
