  Key Concepts: 
  The Principle of Least Privilege (POLP) is a security concept that states that users should only be given the minimum amount of access necessary to perform their job. This means that users should only be given access to the resources they need to do their job, and no more. In the context of SAP Cloud Foundry, this means that users should only be given access to the resources they need to deploy and manage applications, and no more. 
  
  How to use it: 
  When setting up user accounts in SAP Cloud Foundry, administrators should ensure that users are only given access to the resources they need to do their job. This can be done by assigning roles and permissions to users based on their job requirements. For example, a user who needs to deploy applications should be given the “Developer” role, while a user who needs to manage applications should be given the “Administrator” role. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to regularly review user accounts and ensure that users are only given access to the resources they need. This can help prevent unauthorized access and ensure that users are not able to access resources they do not need.
