CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 463

A folder on an NTFS volume has the following permissions enabled for the administrators group: full control, modify, and write. A technician adds a permissions entry to the folder's security settings, denying the administrators group write and modify access.
Which of the following permissions will the administrators group effectively have? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Write
• B. Read
• C. Full control
• D. Modify
• E. Execute
• F. Special permissions

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

When permissions are denied, they take precedence over granted permissions. Since the administrators group is denied write and modify, they retain read and execute permissions, which are not affected by the denial.
