Explanation
NTFS inheritance is the mechanism by which files and subfolders automatically receive the same permissions as their parent folder unless explicitly overridden.
Common mistakes.
- A. Permission propagation is not a standard NTFS or Windows security term - the correct technical term for this behavior is inheritance.
- B. Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication method that allows a user to log in once and access multiple systems without re-entering credentials - unrelated to folder permissions.
- C. Client-side virtualization refers to running virtual machines on a local endpoint device and has no connection to NTFS permission behavior.
- D. Proxy settings configure how a system routes network requests through an intermediary server and are unrelated to file system permissions.
- E. A recovery image is a stored snapshot of a system used to restore it to a known state and has nothing to do with permission assignment.
