3. To prevent a situation like the one that happened with Raymond (in which rights and

permissions to resources were assigned directly to Martin’s user account and were

thus difficult to reconstruct), what is a better way to assign rights and permissions?

You should assign rights and permissions to local groups rather than directly to local user

accounts. You should then make the user accounts members of the appropriate groups. This

way, if a user account is accidentally deleted, you can create a new user account and place it

in the appropriate groups again, rather than having to reconstruct rights and permissions on

the user account. Using groups also helps to manage rights and permissions better in other sit-

uations, such as when a user no longer needs access to particular resources or when a new

user joins the company.
