Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Distractor review

Owner

Owner grants full management rights, including role assignment.

B

Distractor review

Contributor

Contributor allows creation and modification of resources, which is more access than required.

C

Best answer

Reader

Reader provides view-only access to resources across the assigned scope.

D

Distractor review

Monitoring Reader

Monitoring Reader focuses on monitoring information and is not the standard role for broad read-only resource access.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: ACLs stop at the first match

ACLs are processed top to bottom. The first matching entry wins, and an implicit deny usually exists at the end.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

ACL questions test precision: source, destination, protocol, port and direction. A generally correct ACL can still fail if it is applied on the wrong interface or in the wrong direction.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Standard ACLs match source addresses.
  • Extended ACLs can match source, destination, protocol and ports.
  • The first matching ACL entry is used.
  • There is usually an implicit deny at the end.

TExam Day Tips

  • Check inbound versus outbound direction.
  • Read the ACL from top to bottom.
  • Look for a broader permit or deny above the intended line.
