An organization allows users to grant access permissions to their own files, enabling other users to read or modify these files based on the owner's decision. Which access control model does this scenario best illustrate?
Discretionary Access Control (DAC) allows resource owners to determine who can access their resources. In this scenario, users are empowered to set permissions on their own files, which aligns with the principles of DAC. The other access control models, such as MAC, RBAC, and ABAC, involve more centralized or role-based permission management.
