Actual exam question for CompTIA's 220-1102 exam

Question #: 35
Topic #: 2

A company uses shared drives as part of a workforce collaboration process. To ensure the correct access permissions, inheritance at the top-level folder is assigned to each department. A manager's team is working on confidential material and wants to ensure only the immediate team can view a specific folder and its subsequent files and subfolders. Which of the following actions should the technician most likely take?

ATurn off inheritance on the requested folder only and set the requested permissions to each file manually.

BTurn off inheritance at the top-level folder and remove all inherited permissions.

CTurn off inheritance at the top-level folder and set permissions to each file and subfolder manually.

DTurn off inheritance on the requested folder only, set the requested permissions, and then turn on inheritance under the child folders.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Turning off inheritance on the specific folder requested by the manager and setting the requested permissions, followed by turning on inheritance under the child folders, ensures that only the immediate team has access to the confidential material while maintaining the broader permissions structure for other folders and files. This action isolates the folder's permissions from the top-level inheritance, providing a focused security measure for sensitive content.

Option D is the Goldilocks solution - not too much, not too little, just right for this situation.

I see both points, but I think option D is the best choice. Turn off inheritance on the requested folder, set permissions, and then turn on inheritance under the child folders for efficiency.

Haha, inheritance - it's like a family tree, but with file permissions instead of annoying relatives. Option D is the way to go!

Turning off inheritance at the top-level folder would be overkill. Option D is the surgical strike approach we need here.

I disagree, I believe turning off inheritance at the top-level folder and setting permissions to each file and subfolder manually would be more secure.
