Explanation

The practice that best describes this request is access control. Access control is a process that regulates who can access what data in a system based on predefined rules or policies. Access control helps protect data from unauthorized or inappropriate access or modification by granting or denying permissions or privileges to users or groups based on their roles or identities. By applying access control, the database administrator can assign a user the ability to view a data set without allowing them to change or delete it. The other options are either different practices or not related to this request. For example, security audit is a process that evaluates the security level of a system by identifying vulnerabilities or risks; database audit is a process that monitors and records the activities or events that occur on a database; password policy implementation is a process that defines and enforces rules or standards for creating and managing passwords.
