A user is executing a procedure and discovers an error in the sequence of steps. Attempts to correct the error fail indicating a problem with permissions with an error stating something about the "host that the source of the data employs a Biba security model framework". The user calls a system administrator to indicate the problem, who uses escalated permissions to make the change. What just happened?

The user indirectly violated the star integrity axiom.

The administrator violated the star integrity axiom.

Normal operation; this is how it's supposed to work.

Invocation property was violated.

Explanation

The * (star) Integrity Axiom states that a subject at a given level of integrity must not write to any object at a higher level of integrity (no write up). Since the users attempt to change the procedure was blocked, the rule remained intact.
Invocation Property states that a process from below can not request higher access; only with subjects at an equal or lower level. This question was written to "sound like" this property, but it was ** NOT violated ** because the administrator, who had access and authorization, decided to make the change based on the users recommendation. It does not matter where the request came from. ***TO AUTHOR--Additional consideration, it may seem like a normal operation, but as a manager, a user should not be granted elevated privileges, nor should administrator be granting them without prior approval from a manager or information assurance officer.... It is the data owner who decides access! NOT the administrator!
