CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 402

A folder has the share permissions of everyone `" change, while the folder's NTFS permissions are set to everyone `" read. Which of the following would be the MOST effective permissions for someone who is accessing the folder via the share?

Answer options

• A. Read
• B. Change
• C. Write
• D. Modify

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The effective permissions for a user accessing the folder via the share are determined by the most restrictive permission between share and NTFS permissions. Since the NTFS permissions only allow 'read' access, this limits what the user can do, making 'Read' the most effective permission despite the share permissions allowing 'change'. The other options ('Change', 'Write', 'Modify') are not applicable as they exceed the NTFS restrictions.
