What outcome results from enabling cumulative privileges for a user?

When cumulative privileges are enabled for a user, it allows that user to inherit and combine permissions from all of the groups they belong to. This means that if the user is a member of multiple groups, they will have the collective rights and access associated with each group, leading to a comprehensive set of permissions that reflect their various memberships. This flexibility is crucial in environments where users need varying levels of access to perform their job functions effectively.

In contrast, focusing on why the other options do not reflect the correct understanding of cumulative privileges: having no permissions from group memberships would imply a lack of access, which contradicts the principle behind cumulative privileges. Restricting access to one specific group limits the user’s access instead of broadening it and thus defeats the purpose of cumulative privileges. Lastly, erasing permissions entirely would negate the user’s ability to function within the system, which is also contrary to the intent of enabling cumulative privileges. Thus, enabling cumulative privileges directly aligns with allowing full access based on the user's multiple group memberships.
