Privilege Creep

Also: access creep

The slow build-up of access rights beyond what a person or program currently needs.

In more detail

It happens when people keep rights after changing roles, emergency permissions are never removed, or a service account gains one more right to make something work. Regular access reviews and grants that expire on their own are the usual cures.
