200-901 Practice Question: A team uses Ansible Tower for network automation
A team uses Ansible Tower for network automation. They need to restrict a user to only view job results without making any changes. Which Tower role should be assigned?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between Read and Auditor roles, where candidates may mistakenly choose Auditor thinking it is more restrictive, but Auditor actually provides broader read access to all objects including credentials, while Read is the correct role for limiting to job results only.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Read
The Read role in Ansible Tower grants read-only access to all resources, including job results, without allowing any modifications. This is the correct choice because the requirement is to restrict the user to viewing job results only, and Read provides exactly that level of access without any write or execute permissions.
