Authentication is the process to test whether the specific user is
allowed to use or login to the application.

But in Authorization, we test whether the specific user allowed
to access some controls or features of the system/application/software.

Eg: In an office automation tool, every employee can login
to the application, but only accounts manager can access accounts related features, only HR manager or executive can access company information
