Explanation:
Although the information owner may be in a management position and is also considered a user,
the information owner role has the responsibility for determining information classification levels.
Management is responsible for higher-level issues such as providing and approving budget,
supporting activities, etc. The information custodian is responsible for day-to-day security tasks
such as protecting information, backing up information, etc. Users are the lowest level. They use
the data, but do not classify the data. The owner classifies the data.
