What type of access controls allow the owner of a file to grant other users access to it using an access control list?

Answer Options

A

Role-based

B

Nondiscretionary

C

Rule-based

D

Discretionary

Correct Answer: D

Explanation

When the owner of a file makes the decisions about who has rights or access privileges to it, they are using discretionary access control. Role-based access controls would grant access based on a subject's role, while rule-based controls would base the decision on a set of rules or requirements. Nondiscretionary access controls apply a fixed set of rules to an environment to manage access. Nondiscretionary access controls include rule-, role-, and lattice-based access controls.
