Carol tried to install certain applications on the company's laptop but could not complete the installation as she requires administrator privileges to initiate the installation process. The administrator imposed an access policy on the company's laptop that only users with administrator privileges have installation rights.

Identify the access control model demonstrated in the above scenario.

ARule-based access control {RB-RBAC)

BMandatory access control {MAC)

CRole-based access control (RBAC)

DDiscretionary access control (DAC)

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

A permissive policy is a type of Internet access policy that allows users to access the Internet from any device and any location, without any restrictions or security measures. A permissive policy provides convenience and flexibility for the users, but also exposes them to various risks, such as malware infection, data leakage, or cyberattacks. In the scenario, Sarah was accessing confidential office files from a remote location via her personal computer connected to the public Internet, and accidentally downloaded a malicious file onto her computer. This indicates that the organization had a permissive policy for Internet access12. Reference: Network Defense Essentials - EC-Council Learning, Internet Access Policy: Definition and Best Practices

Why would they limit installations like that? Seems too strict!

Wait, can’t users request temporary admin rights?

I thought it was Mandatory access control (MAC) at first.

Definitely RBAC, only admins can install stuff.

Sounds like Role-based access control (RBAC) to me.

I feel like this is definitely not Discretionary access control (DAC), but I can't quite remember the differences between MAC and RBAC clearly.

I practiced a similar question where access was limited based on roles, so I'm leaning towards RBAC. But what if it's actually Rule-based access control?

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about Mandatory access control (MAC) being strict about permissions. Could this be an example of that?

I think this might be related to Role-based access control (RBAC) since it seems like Carol's permissions are tied to her role as a new employee.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. It's asking to identify the access control model, but the options seem to include both role-based and rule-based models. I'll need to carefully consider the differences between those two.

I've got a good feeling about this one. The scenario clearly describes a role-based access control model, where the administrator has set up a policy that restricts installation rights to users with the "administrator" role.

Okay, let me think this through. The fact that only users with admin privileges can install applications suggests a centralized access control policy, rather than a discretionary one. I'm leaning towards mandatory access control or role-based access control.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The scenario mentions administrator privileges, but I'm not sure if that automatically means it's a role-based access control model.

This looks like a straightforward access control question. I think the key is to identify the type of access control model being used based on the details provided.

As a seasoned IT professional, I can say with confidence that this is a textbook example of Role-based access control (RBAC). The administrator has set up access policies based on user roles, and Carol's role doesn't include installation privileges. Gotta love those corporate IT policies!

This is definitely a case of Discretionary access control (DAC). The administrator has the discretion to decide who gets to install apps, and Carol's just out of luck. Tough break, Carol!

Carol should probably check with her supervisor to see if there's a way to get those administrator privileges.

Yeah, it seems like the administrator has strict control over who can install what on the company's laptop.

I guess Carol will have to ask the administrator for permission to install those applications.

Mandatory access control (MAC) is the clear answer here. The administrator has imposed strict rules on what users can and can't do, and Carol's just gotta follow the rules. No exceptions!

Hah! Carol must be really bummed she can't install her favorite apps. I bet she's already planning a 'hack the system' strategy. Good luck, Carol!

Looks like it's Role-based access control (RBAC) to me. The administrator has set up access policies based on user roles, and Carol doesn't have the necessary privileges to install applications. Simple enough.
