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.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Global Incident field permissions
Why it's wrong here
This controls field visibility, not integration interaction.
- ✗
User Roles
Why it's wrong here
User roles define analyst access, not automated process access.
- ✗
Playbook permissions
Why it's wrong here
Playbooks are triggered by incidents, but instance-level access is set in the integration configuration.
- ✓
Incident Type assignment in the Integration Instance configuration
Why this is correct
Restricting the integration instance to specific incident types limits the scope of its operation.
