Exam MD-100 topic 3 question 13 discussion

Here we go, again Microsoft loves to confuse us. If the solution must strictly follow the principle of least privilege, then the correct answer would be to create a new group with the necessary permissions to share and manage folders using the Shared Folders snap-in and add User1 to this group. Because the Administrator is able to share and manage folders located in the C:\Share folder using the Shared Folders snap-in, User1 needs to have administrative privileges. Therefore, you should add User1 to the Administrators group. The correct answer is A. Administrators. Answer C, Users, is a built-in group in Windows 10 that has limited privileges on the computer, including the ability to access and modify files and folders that the user owns. However, the Users group does not have the necessary privileges to manage shared folders using the Shared Folders snap-in.

The admin user is the lowest level of privilege among the answer choices for this question. Shared Folders snap-in is located within Computer Management or through MMC. Notice: “User1 needs to be able to share and manage folders located in a folder named C:\Share by using the Shared Folders snap-in” *“needs to be able to share folders located in a folder named C:\Share by using the Shared Folders snap-in” - Only admin does *“needs to be able to manage folders located in a folder named C:\Share by using the Shared Folders snap-in” - Not all users can do, but what kind of management? It is not explicit.

gv_myra- I'm not sure what you mean by 'power users do not have NTFS permissions'.. what other kind of permissions would they have then? Regardless, research indicates 'power user' isnt a thing in windows 10 at all anymore...

i believe this is D: Power Users on a test machine added a standard user to Power Users logged on and ran MMC as admin this prompts for the power user's credentials, not an admin account add the snap in for shared drives and was able to create a share doing this via explorer with the power users account prompts for an admin credential though

A is correct.

A) is correct. Power users do not have NTFS permissions.
