Question

Active Directory

For the following rights, identify if the right belongs (exclusively) to Privileged (IT) Users or Regular Users.

The ability to reset a user password                            [ Select ]                       ["Regular User", "Privileged (IT) User"]         .

The ability to change passwords                            [ Select ]                       ["Privileged (IT) User", "Regular User"]         .

The ability to login to their computer                            [ Select ]                       ["Privileged (IT) User", "Regular User"]         .

The ability to print to a networked printer                            [ Select ]                       ["Privileged (IT) User", "Regular User"]         .

(PS: Yes, Privileged (IT) Users would also have the rights that Regular Users do, but that is in their capacity as Regular Users. So rights that both sets of users get, should be answered as 'Regular User')

Answer 1

• The ability to reset a user password right can be given to Regular Users since both privileged and regular users are allowed to change their own password.
• The ability to change passwords can be given to Privileged Users since they should be able to change all regular users passwords in the active directory which they are handling.
• The ability to login to their computer can be given to Regular Users since any user is allowed to login to their computer(no restrictions).
• The ability to print to a networked printer can be given to Regular Users since any user in the active directory require the printer asset, but it depends on the organization whether they want to allow all users or only privileged user.
