An administrator is configuring shared data for multiple departments. Developers need to view configuration files and run some scripts, while managers can change the contents. Which action best aligns with these needs and avoids giving privileges beyond what each group requires?
Restrict permissions to view only and block execution
Set specific read and write permissions for managers while restricting developers to view and execute
Provide read, write, and execute permissions to users across all teams
Restrict modifications and execution of shared data to administrators by revoking department-level permissions
Granting specific permissions based on each group's role supports the principle of least privilege. Managers who need to edit data receive read and write permissions, while developers are granted view and execute capabilities. Providing broader permissions to everyone can result in unnecessary access and threats, and restricting all actions except for administrators is too limiting for day-to-day tasks.
