Why each option
When a user changes departments, their security group memberships and associated file permissions must be updated to grant access to the new department's shared resources.
Access to shared network drives is controlled by NTFS and share permissions, typically assigned through security groups tied to each department. When the user moved from sales to accounting, they need to be added to the accounting security group so the correct permissions apply to their account, and potentially removed from the sales group to revoke prior access.
Folder redirection determines where local folders such as Documents are stored on the network, not whether a user has access rights to a departmental shared drive.
Local group policy manages configuration settings on the local workstation and does not control access permissions to remote shared network resources.
Encryption type governs how data is protected at rest and is unrelated to whether a user account has been granted access rights to a shared directory.
