If a user is in a group with a particular access and the user has explicitly set access that is either the same or different than the group access, what is the effect?

• A. The access setting will automatically give the user the most restrictive access.
• B. The user's group access setting overrides the explicitly set access.
• C. The access setting conflict, leaving the user no access to the folder at all.
• D. The user's explicitly set access overrides the group access setting.

Answer: (D)

When a user has both group-based access and an explicit per-user permission, the explicit per-user permission takes precedence over the group permission. That means the user’s actual access is determined by what is set explicitly for them, even if the group would grant a different level. If the explicit permission matches the group one, there’s no conflict; if it differs, the explicit setting defines the outcome. For example, if the group grants read but the user explicitly grants write, the user will have write access due to the explicit override. This is why the answer states that the explicitly set access overrides the group setting.
