}An administrator is configuring access to a cloud storage bucket. The policy is applied to a user. Which of the following actions will the user be allowed to perform?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently assume an access policy applied to a user grants all actions on the bucket by default, but cloud storage follows a least-privilege model where only explicitly allowed actions are permitted.
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
✓
Read and write objects in my-company-bucket
The access policy applied to the user explicitly grants 'Read' and 'Write' actions on the 'my-company-bucket' resource, which correspond to reading and writing objects. This is the only action set permitted by the policy, so the user can read and write objects in the bucket.
