Question 11

An administrator needs to grant a group of database administrators the ability to manage Autonomous Databases only within a specific compartment named DevCompartment, without giving them access to any other resources in that compartment. Which IAM policy statement achieves this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Allow group DBA-Group to manage autonomous-databases in compartment DevCompartment. To scope access to a specific resource type within a specific compartment, the policy must use the target resource type (autonomous-databases) and be defined at the appropriate compartment level.

Answer

Allow group DBA-Group to manage all-resources in compartment DevCompartment

Answer

Allow compartment DevCompartment to manage autonomous-databases for group DBA-Group

Answer

Allow group DBA-Group to manage autonomous-databases in tenancy

Question 12

You need to write an IAM policy that allows a group named 'NetworkAdmins' to manage all VCN components, but you want to ensure that this policy is only applicable when evaluated from the home region of the tenancy. How can you accomplish this using policy conditions?

Accepted Answer

Use the condition 'where request.region = <home-region>'. OCI IAM policy conditions support checking contextual variables such as request.region, enabling regional scoping.

Answer

IAM policies cannot be restricted by region; they always apply globally.

Answer

Use the condition 'where target.region.home = true'

Answer

Use the condition 'where principal.region = home'

Question 13

Your organization uses federated identity with an external SAML 2.0 identity provider (IdP). A user leaves the company, and their account is disabled in the corporate IdP. What happens when that user attempts to access OCI via the federated login?

Accepted Answer

Authentication fails immediately at the IdP, preventing access to OCI.. Federated authentication relies on the corporate IdP; once disabled there, the user cannot successfully authenticate or generate security assertions for OCI.
