I think that A is the correct one. If the User1 is not an owner of the mentioned folder, then in my opinion he needs a 'Full Control' to change the permissions (that's how it works on my W10 machine). I have no idea why on the page added to the 'Explaination', it is mentioned about 'Modify' permission as on the next page, it is explicitly said the Full Control is needed: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/cc732880%28v%3dws.10%29 What do you think about it?

Selected Answer: B
The correct answer is B. Modify. To provide a user named User1 with the ability to modify the permissions of Folder1 on a public computer running Windows 10 while following the principle of least privilege, you should assign the Modify NTFS permission to User1. This permission allows the user to read, write, execute, and modify the contents of the folder, as well as modify the permissions assigned to the folder.

Assigning the Full control NTFS permission to User1 would grant the user more privileges than necessary, violating the principle of least privilege. This permission allows the user to perform all tasks, including modifying the folder contents, modifying permissions, and taking ownership of the folder. Assigning the Write NTFS permission to User1 would allow the user to modify the contents of the folder and create new files, but would not allow the user to modify the permissions assigned to the folder. Assigning the Read & execute NTFS permission to User1 would allow the user to view the contents of the folder and execute files, but would not allow the user to modify the contents of the folder or modify the permissions assigned to the folder.

Full Control: Users can do anything to the file, including taking ownership of it. It is recommended that you grant this level of access only to administrators. Modify: Users can view and modify files and file properties, including deleting and adding files to a directory or file properties to a file. Users cannot take ownership or change permissions on the file.

B. Modify To provide a user named User1 with the ability to modify the permissions of Folder1 while using the principle of least privilege, you should assign the Modify permission to User1 on the folder. The Modify permission allows the user to perform all actions that are permitted by the Write permission, as well as change permissions, take ownership, and delete the folder. This permission level provides the necessary level of access for User1 to modify the permissions of Folder1 without granting unnecessary access. Assigning Full control to User1 would provide more access than necessary and would not be in line with the principle of least privilege. Assigning the Write permission would not allow User1 to modify permissions. Assigning the Read & execute permission would only allow User1 to view the contents of the folder and execute files, but not modify permissions. Therefore, the best option is to assign the Modify permission.

On the following link you can find the correspondance between Permission / Special Permissions applied for them. And Modify don't allow by default to change permissions on a folder. The only way is to be owner of the folder or to have the change permission delegated by the owner or by the administrator. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-r2-and-2008/cc732880(v=ws.10)

A is correct: To modify permissions, you must have the Full Control permission for a folder or file. The one exception is for file and folder owners. The owner of a file or folder can modify permissions, even if they do not have any current permission. Administrators can take ownership of files and folders to make modifications to permissions.
