CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202) — Question 66

Which of the following grants a user the minimum level of permissions necessary to perform duties?

Answer options

• A. Least privilege
• B. Zero Trust
• C. SSO
• D. MFA

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The 'Least privilege' principle is designed to ensure that users have only the minimum permissions necessary to perform their roles, thereby reducing the risk of accidental or malicious actions. 'Zero Trust' is a security model that assumes no user or device is trustworthy by default. 'SSO' (Single Sign-On) and 'MFA' (Multi-Factor Authentication) are authentication methods that enhance security but do not pertain to permissions management.
