Answer:
access privileges or privileges
Explanation:
The employees at Manuel's company have different _access privileges _ , based on the situation described.
The permissions to be able to perform some actions on some files are called privileges. Â So, some employees have limited privileges (only able to open files, but not to edit them), and other have extended privileges (allowing them to open and edit files). Â
Although possible, it's unlikely that the employees have different different antivirus software, broadband connections or firewalls. Â And no indication in the situation described lead to think that.
It's unclear in your question if "access privileges" is one or two answer choices. Â Usually, we talk about "access privileges" but it would also be just "privileges". Â If these are two choices, go for "privileges", since all employees have access to the files, so they don't have different access.
