Explanation

The least privilege model (also called the principle of least privilege) dictates that users should only have access to the resources they need to perform their specific tasks - no more. By removing fileshare access from students who do not need it, the technician is enforcing this principle. Non-repudiation ensures actions can be traced to a user, MFA requires multiple verification steps, and SSO allows one login across multiple systems - none of these describe revoking unneeded access.
