Choose a Minimum Necessary Permission

Supplied materials

• Paper and pencil; answers may also be spoken or typed.
• All cases, labels, numbers and rules are supplied on this page. No real account, private information or purchase is needed.

Learn the idea

An access plan should grant the actions needed for a purpose rather than every possible action. A reader may need view permission without edit permission. A temporary task may need time-limited access. The lesson’s policy is a model, not a universal institutional rule.

Give the least permission that still completes the stated purpose. More permission increases possible misuse without necessarily improving the task.

Use this supplied case: Purpose is to read a shared report, with no changes needed. Choose access. Use the details in this example. Say which detail helped you choose. This pretend example does not tell us how every real system works.

1. Follow the worked example one step at a time. Say or draw what happens.
2. Give the least permission that still completes the stated purpose.
3. Say which detail makes the example answer fit. Pick another answer and say why it does not fit.
4. Try the question and practice questions. Read the rule again if your answer does not match the explanation.

Check your reasoning

Your answer is temporary and is not saved to an account. Download your current answer before leaving or reloading. Written work on paper or in another app stays in your own file.

Take it further

A temporary reviewer needs one draft for two days. Criteria: access covers that draft and time limit, without unrelated edit rights.

Nothing here is saved to an account or sent to a teacher. The answer download includes your current choice and any checked feedback. It does not include choices from the separate More practice section. Download that section separately.
