Explanation:
With Discretionary Access Control, a data owner and individual users are able to define what access will be allowed to their data regardless of policy, at their own discretion. An example of this is giving others access to ones own home directory.
With Mandatory Access Control, permissions are derived from a policy. Owners and users can only permit access to others within the limits of these policy statements. Usually such a policy is centrally managed.
