# Interface Governance
Interface governance is the control exercised through what a user can see, select, reach, authorize, dismiss, or recover in a presented environment.
## Security significance
Presentation can hide deeper state, privilege, enrollment, routing, or policy. An interface may accurately summarize resident authority, incompletely expose it, or constrain action through [[Algorithmic Friction]].
## Archival rule
Visible interface state is evidence of presentation, not automatic proof of the underlying actor, configuration, or authorization. Correlate it with logs, policy, account state, and lower-layer identifiers.
