True or False: Access controls explicitly grant or deny access to a table.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not applicable
• D. Cannot determine

Answer: (B)

Access controls determine what a user can do with a table or its fields by evaluating roles, conditions, and a script for a given operation (read, write, create, delete). They don’t simply hand out permission upfront. Instead, an operation is allowed only when an ACL evaluates to true for that user and context; otherwise it is blocked. By default, without a passing ACL, access is denied. So the statement is not accurate because ACLs enforce access through evaluation and default denial, rather than explicitly granting access to the table on their own.
