Which statement about permissions and directory order with non-aggregating membership is true?

• A. Directory order always determines permissions.
• B. Directory order is significant for permissions only when non-aggregating membership is used.
• C. Directory order has no impact on permissions.
• D. Permissions are aggregated across all directories regardless.

Answer: (B)

Understanding how permissions are resolved when membership doesn’t accumulate across directories helps explain why directory order matters in this scenario. With non-aggregating membership, you don’t sum up permissions from multiple directories. Instead, access is determined by a single, most relevant permission set, and the directory that takes precedence is influenced by the order or priority of the directories. That means the sequence in which directories are evaluated can change the outcome, making the order significant. If permissions were aggregating, permissions from all directories would stack, and the order wouldn’t affect the final result. So, the statement that directory order matters only when non-aggregating membership is used accurately reflects how the resolution rules operate in this case.
