Answer:

Since Dept 1 is the parent department and read/write access is given for Dept 1, the user will have access to all the departments under Dept 1, i.e. Dept 2, Dept 3 and Dept 4.

Yes, we can restrict the access to Dept 3 by giving ‘No Access’ to Dept 3 while defining the access code for Dept 3 on the Security be Dept Tree page of the respective permission list.
