Cyber Fundamentals Block 5 Practice Exam

After credentials are verified, which AAA component governs granting access rights?

Authentication Authorization Identification Accounting

Correct Answer:

Authorization

Explanation:

Authorization determines what you are allowed to do once your identity has been confirmed. After credentials are verified (authentication), authorization applies access-control policies to grant specific rights to resources or actions—like which files you can read, which systems you can access, or which commands you can run. Accounting then logs your activity for auditing. So the reason authorization is correct is that it translates a verified identity into the permissions that define your access rights.
