CV0-004 Practice Question: Which TWO steps should be performed to ensure…
Which TWO steps should be performed to ensure that a new cloud user has only the minimum required permissions to perform their job? (Choose two.)
Answer choices
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
✓
Provide permissions based on the user's specific job functions.
The principle of least privilege involves granting only necessary permissions and periodically reviewing them. Using a broad policy is the opposite. Removing the user is not appropriate. Creating a group is good for management but not directly for least privilege.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Assign the user to a group with broad administrator access for flexibility.
Why it's wrong here
Broad access violates least privilege.
- ✓
Provide permissions based on the user's specific job functions.
Why this is correct
Granting only what is needed for the job is the core of least privilege.
- ✗
Remove the user's account immediately after granting access.
Why it's wrong here
That would prevent them from doing any work.
- ✗
Create a custom role that includes all possible permissions.
Why it's wrong here
All-inclusive roles are the opposite of minimum permissions.
- ✓
Review and remove unnecessary permissions periodically.
Why this is correct
Periodic reviews ensure permissions remain minimal.
