Options — English
💡 1. A. Users can only see certain screens in the system. –
ᤶ
ᤷ Not a concern
o
This is actually a good security practice because
it enforces role-based access control (RBAC).
o
Limiting access to specific screens ensures that
users only see what is necessary for their job
functions.
2. B. Users are making frequent password change
requests. – ᤶ
ᤷ Not related to authorization controls
o
This is more of an authentication issue rather
than an authorization concern.
o
Frequent password resets could indicate
forgotten passwords or a strict password
policy, but it does not relate to how access is
granted within the system.
3. C. Users input incorrect passwords and get denied
system access. – ᤶ
ᤷ Not a concern
o
This shows that authentication controls are
working properly by blocking unauthorized
access.
o
Authorization issues relate to what users can
access after authentication, not whether they
can log in.
4. D. Users are all permitted uniform access to the system.

Correct Answer
o
Authorization controls should enforce role-
based access, meaning users should only have
access to functions relevant to their roles.
o
If all users have uniform access, this creates a
security risk because:
Employees might access sensitive or
confidential information they don’t
need.
Unauthorized users could modify,
delete, or misuse critical data.
o
Proper authorization should follow the
principle of least privilege (PoLP), ensuring that
users only have the minimum access required
to perform their tasks.
