Discuss Cisco 100-140 Exam Topic 6 Question 2

John indicates that he cannot edit the file Test.docx, which is stored on a network shared drive. John can access and edit other files on the shared drive. You review permissions for the file and see the permissions shown in the following screenshot.

Which change will allow John to access and edit the Test.docx file, while retaining account-level control?

AMove the file to a different folder on the same shared drive.

BModify the NTFS permissions on the file to allow read & execute.

CModify the share permissions on the file to give John full control.

DTell John to modify the NTFS permissions on the file to allow read & execute.

Suggested Answer: B

The screenshot shows that John Douglas is explicitly denied 'Read & execute' permissions on the file Test.docx, which overrides any inherited allow permissions. To allow John to edit the file, you must modify the NTFS permissions on the file and remove or change the Deny rule that applies to his account. Simply allowing 'read & execute' would not be enough; you must grant 'Modify' or higher and remove the Deny.

Just give him full control, simple as that!

Wait, why would moving the file help? Seems odd.

Sean 10 months ago

Definitely option C, that should fix it!

Brande 11 months ago

I disagree, modifying NTFS permissions won't solve this.

Rikki 11 months ago

Looks like John needs full control on that file.

I recall that modifying NTFS permissions is usually the right approach, but I’m not clear if telling John to do it himself is the best option.

Loreta 11 months ago

I feel like giving John full control through share permissions could work, but I’m a bit confused about how that interacts with NTFS permissions.

Angella 12 months ago

I think moving the file might not solve the issue since it seems to be a permissions problem. I practiced a similar question where permissions were the key factor.

Chantay 12 months ago

I remember something about NTFS permissions being crucial for file access, but I'm not sure if just modifying them to read & execute would help John edit the file.

I think the answer is to modify the share permissions on the file to give John full control. That should do the trick without having to make any changes to the NTFS permissions.

Alba 1 year ago

I'm a bit confused by the different permission options. I'll need to make sure I understand the differences between NTFS and share permissions before deciding on the right approach.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. The key is to find a solution that allows John to edit the file while maintaining account-level control.

Larue 1 year ago

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the permissions shown in the screenshot to determine the best approach.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Wouldn't option B, modifying the NTFS permissions, be the better choice? That way, it's more secure than just giving full control through the share permissions.

Option B seems safer. Less risk with NTFS permissions.

I agree with Adelle. John needs to edit the file easily.

But isn't that risky? What if someone else messes with it?

I think option C is the way to go. Full control is necessary for editing.

Allene 1 year ago

I agree with Rory, C seems like the best option.

Barbra 1 year ago

I think the answer is C. Modifying the share permissions to give John full control is the most straightforward way to let him access and edit the file without affecting the account-level control.

I think B might be the correct answer.

I disagree, I believe the answer is D.
