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?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
