CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 1016
An organization is providing employees on the shop floor with computers that will log their time based on when they sign on and off the network.
Which of the following account types should the employees receive?
Answer options
- A. Shared account
- B. Privileged account
- C. User account
- D. Service account
Correct answer: C
Explanation
A User account is appropriate for employees as it allows them to log in and track their work hours without excessive permissions. Shared accounts can lead to accountability issues, privileged accounts provide elevated access not needed for time tracking, and service accounts are designed for running applications or services rather than individual user activities.
