Which statement best describes rights vs permissions?

• A. Rights are granted upon access; permissions are configured access
• B. Rights override permissions
• C. Permissions grant access automatically; rights require manual
• D. Rights and permissions are unrelated

Answer: (A)

Rights describe the broad authorizations a user has in the system, while permissions define the exact allowances attached to each resource that determine what actions are permitted on that resource. The statement matches this by saying rights come with access, and permissions are the configured access on resources. In practice, a user is granted access (and with that access, certain rights), and those rights are implemented through resource-specific permissions that specify what can be done with each resource. The other options misstate the relationship: rights don’t inherently override permissions; permissions don’t automatically grant access while rights are manual, and rights and permissions are not unrelated—permissions are the mechanism that enforces the rights on each resource.
