What is typically the action denied to a non-privileged user account?

The action that is typically denied to a non-privileged user account is modifying system settings. Non-privileged users are designed to have limited access to the system’s core functions and configurations to maintain security and system stability. Allowing unrestricted access to system settings could lead to unintentional or malicious changes that can compromise the integrity and security of the system.

Non-privileged users can generally read files, access their own files, and execute programs, provided they have the necessary permissions for those specific tasks. This controlled access is essential for ensuring that users can perform their roles without risking the configuration and security of the overall system. Restricting the ability to modify system settings helps protect against potential misuse or accidents that could disrupt the operation of the network or systems.
