This is a question from my book that me my friend and I are struggling
with.



::*A user is assigned Read permission to the NTFS folder C:\ACCOUNTING.
They require full access to C:\ACCOUNTING\FORMS. This can be
accomplished by:*
::
*A)* not possible

*B)* blocking permission inheritance at C:\ACCOUNTING\FORMS and
assigning the user Full control to C:\ACCOUNTING\FORMS

*C)* assigning the user Full control to C:\ACCOUNTING

*D)* blocking permission inheritance at C:\ACCOUNTING and assigning the
user Full control to C:\ACCOUNTING\FORMS

*E)* assigning the user Full control to C:\ACCOUNTING\FORMS



My friend believes the answer is *E*. I believe that may give you the
same end result that you are looking for, but that would be assuming
that the _Full_Control_ permission would override the _Read_ permission
(which may be true, but our book doesn't specifically state anything
like that).

I personally believe the answer is *B* because when you deny the
permission inheritance, it will (as stated in the book) prompt you to
clarify whether the permissions should be copied or just removed
entirely. Then you can clarify what permission the C:\ACCOUNTING\FORMS
folder should have.



His reasoning is (I think this is crap by the way) that the book wants
us to go the "shortest" route possible, similar to computer programming.
The analogy he used was that when you are writing a program you try to
write the program as small and use as few steps as possible in order to
make the program as efficient as possible and that is the same with this
question and that is why E is right. :sarc:

My reasoning is that the book explains permissions as though you should
remove the inheritance from the folder then assign the permission the
way you want the person to have them. Period.

Please help us figure this out. We have a mid-term Wednesday (in 2
days) and I'm beginning to get confused. TIA
