What does an Administrator Account provide?

• A. Restricts access to some files
• B. Provides read-only access
• C. Provides only guest access
• D. Provides full access to a computer

Answer: (D)

An Administrator Account gives elevated privileges that let you control nearly every aspect of the system. With this level of access you can install and uninstall software, change system settings, update drivers, access and modify important system files, and manage other user accounts and their permissions. Because of this broad control, an administrator can grant or revoke access for other users and adjust security settings, which is why it provides full access to the computer. In contrast, more limited accounts can restrict software installation, limit what settings can be changed, or only allow viewing without edits, and guest accounts have only minimal privileges.
