Oliver needs to explain the access control scheme used by both the Windows and Linux file- systems. What access control scheme do they implement by default?

Answer Options

A

Role-based access control

B

Mandatory access control

C

Rule-based access control

D

Discretionary access control

Correct Answer: D

Explanation

Both the Windows and Linux filesystems work based on a discretionary access control scheme where file and directory owners can determine who can access, change, or otherwise work with files under their control. Role-based access controls systems determine rights based on roles that are assigned to users. Rule-based access control systems use a series of rules to determine which actions can occur, and mandatory access control systems enforce control at the operating system level.
