Question

A technician is tasked with implementing the principle of least privilege to secure a file server so that only authorized users can modify company documents. Which of the following should the technician implement to comply with the request?

Options

  • ACreate a folder hierarchy, disable inheritance and assign user's permissions to specific folders.
  • BCreate a shared folder and grant full administrative rights only to the users who need to modify
  • CCreate a folder tree hierarchy, enable inheritance and assign user's permissions to specific
  • DCreate a shared folder and only provide read access to all users regardless of their role.

Explanation

Least privilege means users receive only the minimum permissions needed for their role. Creating a folder hierarchy and disabling inheritance breaks the default permission flow, allowing the technician to assign explicit, granular permissions to each folder for specific users - no one gets access they haven't been deliberately granted. Option B grants full admin rights, violating least privilege. Option C enables inheritance, which can propagate broader permissions unintentionally. Option D gives everyone read access regardless of role, which also ignores role-based differences.
