You work on the team that manages Active Directory at a large enterprise. It was recently discovered that a user in Sales accidentally deleted several files belonging to a folder of a different department. Which of the following should you check to determine why the user in Sales had permissions to the folder?
In Windows, a security group is a collection of user accounts, computer accounts, or other groups that are managed together for the purpose of controlling access to shared resources and enforcing security policies. Security groups are a fundamental part of Windows security and are used to simplify the process of granting permissions and rights to multiple users or computers simultaneously. Checking which security groups have access to the folder and then checking the groups the user is in would determine how this issue occurred.
