In Annex F, which function grants access permissions after identity is verified?

• A. Authentication
• B. Authorization
• C. Accounting
• D. Auditing

Answer: (B)

This question tests the distinction between verifying identity and granting permissions in access control. After identity is confirmed, the system uses authorization to determine what resources or actions you are allowed to access. Authorization relies on defined permissions, roles, or policies to grant or deny access to specific resources. So the function that grants access permissions once identity is verified is authorization. Authentication is the step that proves who you are; accounting and auditing relate to tracking and recording what happens for accountability, not deciding what you may do.
