CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 429

Which of the following security permissions takes precedence over the other?

Answer options

• A. File permissions over share permissions
• B. Share permissions over inherited permissions
• C. Share permissions over file permissions
• D. File permissions over user permissions

Correct answer: A

Explanation

File permissions take precedence over share permissions because they are more restrictive and are applied directly to the files on the disk. The other options are incorrect as they either misrepresent the hierarchy of permissions or suggest incorrect priorities among different types of permissions.
