...IS3340-WINDOWS SECURITY | Lab #2 | Assessment Worksheet | | [Type the author name] | 4/3/2014 | | 1. What is the Principle of Least Privilege? Providing only the necessary access required to carry out a task. 2. What does DACL stands for and what does it mean? Discretionary Access Control List is the list of access control rules (ACL’s). 3. Why would you add permissions to a group instead of the individual? Management of the permissions (add/remove) is easier to do from the Group Level, other than Individual User and is quicker. 4. Why would you allow shared access to groups instead of to everyone? By allowing access by Groups it is easier to manage – all users have to be part of a Group in order to be created. 5. List at least 3 different types of access control permissions you can enable for a file. Read, (permits viewing or accessing of the file's contents) Write (permits adding to the file) Modify (permits reading and writing of the file and allows deletion of the file) 6. Which access control permissions allow you to delete files and/or folders? Modify is the access control permission allowing the user to delete files and/or folders. 7. What is the lowest level permission needed in order to view the contents of a folder? Read 8.
