Question

Oscar's user account has been granted permissions to view a database. Nathan then uses the deny command in an attempt to deny Oscar the ability to view the database and applies it to a group to which Oscar belongs. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Oscar will still be able to view the database because a grant overrides a deny.
B. Oscar will no longer be able to view the database because a deny overrides a grant.
C. Oscar will no longer be able to view the database, because the deny cancels the grant, giving Oscar no specific permissions.
D. Oscar will still be able to view the database because granted permissions must be removed with the revoke command.

Answer 1

Oscar will no longer be able to view the database because a deny overrides a grant.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is true in this scenario is B. Oscar will no longer be able to view the database because a deny overrides a grant.When permissions are granted and denied to a user, the deny command takes precedence over the grant command. In this case, Nathan used the deny command to prevent Oscar from viewing the database, and since Oscar belongs to the group to which the deny command was applied, Oscar's ability to view the database is revoked.

Therefore, option B is the correct answer as the deny overrides the grant.
