0Oliver 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.
