A security policy grants the following permissions: Read and List. Based on the policy, what actions are permitted by this policy?

⚠ Common exam trap

The trap is that candidates may assume Read implies List, but in many security policies List is a separate action that must be explicitly granted.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

Read and List

The policy explicitly grants both the Read and List actions, as is common in many policy configurations. The trap is that candidates may assume Read alone is granted, but List is a separate permission that must be explicitly included.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Read and List

    Why this is correct

    Correct. The policy grants Read and List actions.

  • Read only

    Why it's wrong here

    Incorrect. The policy also grants List, so it is not Read only.

  • Read and Delete

    Why it's wrong here

    Incorrect. The policy does not grant Delete.

  • Write and Read

    Why it's wrong here

    Incorrect. The policy does not grant Write.
