CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 263

Which of the following is used to ensure users have the appropriate level of access to perform their job functions?

Answer options

• A. Access control list
• B. Multifactor authentication
• C. Least privilege
• D. Mobile device management

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The principle of least privilege ensures that users receive only the access rights essential for their job functions, minimizing potential security risks. Access control lists manage permissions but do not inherently enforce the least privilege principle. Multifactor authentication enhances security by requiring multiple verification methods, and mobile device management focuses on securing mobile devices rather than access levels.
