CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 130

Which of the following access control methodologies can be described BEST as allowing a user the least access based on the jobs the user needs to perform?

Answer options

• A. Scope-based
• B. Role-based
• C. Location-based
• D. Rule-based

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Role-based, because it assigns access rights based on the specific roles users have within an organization, ensuring they only have the permissions essential for their tasks. The other options do not focus on minimizing access according to job functions; for example, Scope-based relates to the extent of control, Location-based depends on physical or network locations, and Rule-based relies on predefined rules that may not align with job-specific access needs.
