In a security access model, which term describes security access that remains with the position when a worker leaves the role?

• A. Constrained
• B. Unconstrained
• C. Dynamic
• D. Segmented

Answer: (A)

Access that stays with the position is described as constrained access. That means the permissions are tied to the job function rather than to an individual person. When someone fills that role, they automatically inherit the role’s rights; when they leave, those rights don’t go with the person but remain with the position for the next occupant. This approach keeps a stable set of privileges for a given function, making offboarding smoother and ensuring consistent access for the role.

Unconstrained access would follow the individual worker, not the role, which undermines role-based control. Dynamic access implies permissions shift based on changing context, not a fixed association to a position. Segmented access refers to dividing data or resources into segments for access control, not specifically to whether access remains with a position.
