An object has inherited permissions from two parent objects.
What is true about the permissions on the object?
Correct Answer:
B
🗳️
If an object inherits permissions from two parent objects, the permissions on one object are added to the permissions on the other object. For example, if a virtual machine is in a virtual machine folder and also belongs to a resource pool, that virtual machine inherits all permission settings from both the virtual machine folder and the resource pool.
