The _______ deny is when the administrator has selected the Deny option for a permission for a user or group. This Deny takes precedence over all allowed settings
Example: If the administrator has set the Deny Read option on an object for a group, all members of that group are not able to read the object. If the administrator adds a user and gives them the Allow Read permission, if that user is a member of that group, they still are not able to read the object.

An _____ deny is when a user or group are not granted a specific permission in the security settings of an object, but they are not explicitly denied either.
Granting permission to an object is done by the administrator adding the user or group to the object’s Access Control List (ACL) and selecting the Allow option for the Read, Modify or Delete permissions. If the administrator does not add the user or group to the object or doesn’t select the Allow or Deny options for any of the permissions, the user or group is ____ denied the permission to the object.
if you have the Management group with Read permission to a file but you want to allow one user in the Management group to Modify the file, you can add the individual user to the files permission and select the Allow option for the Modify permission. Using this method allows the individual user to modify the file even though the group they are in only has the Read permission. An _____ deny only denies a permission until the user or group is allowed to perform the permission.
