A student gave edit rights to everyone in a shared file and later the correct answers changed. What was the most suitable prevention?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Give edit rights only to needed people
Edit permission allows a user to change the contents, so giving it to everyone creates an unnecessary risk of accidental or intentional alteration. The principle of least privilege says that each person should receive only the access needed for the task. Students who only need to read should receive view access, while editing should be limited to authorised contributors.
