Unit 2 Architecture and Concepts

In my opinion, file permissions are granular enough to provide security that is adequate. If there are some sets of permissions that are needed to secure a set of files, the you are able to set a reasonable set of permissions like read, write, and execute. This all that you really need when you are accessing files that need security. If there is more authentication that is need then all that you need to do is add a password protected folder with the file in it, that needs administrative approval. This is granular enough to secure the file system, it's just when you need to set groups, complications occur and the file system security becomes more granular than it needs to be. This is all that I have a problem with is the group file permissions if you have a both set of files and a girl set of files, then they are both a group of people. When using this you still need the files to be put into a group, this is what causes the passwords to be complicated and the system to become more granular than needed.
