Question

Drag and Drop Question You have an Azure subscription that contains an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account named account1 and a user named User1. In account1, you create a container named container1. In container1, you create a folder named folder1. You need to ensure that User1 can list and read all the files in folder1. The solution must use the principle of least privilege. How should you configure the permissions for each folder? To answer, drag the appropriate permissions to the correct folders. Each permission may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Correct arrangement

  • container1/: Execute
  • container1/folder1: Read and Execute

Explanation

In Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, to list and read files in folder1, User1 needs Read and Execute permissions on folder1 itself - Read to access file contents and Execute (traverse) to list the directory's contents. For container1 (the parent directory), User1 only needs Execute permission to traverse into it without being able to read or list its other contents, satisfying the principle of least privilege. This ACL inheritance model requires Execute on each parent directory in the path so the user can navigate down to the target folder without gaining broader access.
