A network administrator is setting up a new user account for an employee who will only be managing the company's social media accounts. Which of the following permission levels should the employee be assigned to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive files?
Assigning the employee to a standard user account would limit their permissions to performing common daily tasks without the ability to make changes that could affect the system's security or other users. This is consistent with the principle of least privilege, allowing the employee to manage the company’s social media accounts while preventing access to sensitive files.
