An operating system sets access rights for each file.
Give two access rights that can be set for a file.
Mark scheme
Award one mark for any of the following up to a maximum of two marks:
- Read/view (1)
- Write/edit/modify (1)
- Execute/run (1)
- Delete (1)
Allow 'read only' for read.
Treat write/edit/modify as one right only.
Do not accept 'open' or 'access' on its own.
Do not accept usernames/passwords (these are authentication, not file access rights).
Example answers and how they were marked
Full marks2/2
Read and write.
Why: Read (1) and write (1) are two separate accepted access rights.
Some marks1/2
Read-only.
Why: Read-only is allowed for read (1), but only one right is given.
No marks0/2
A username and a password.
Why: These are login details used for authentication, not access rights for a file, so no mark is awarded.
