- A
Reshare
Why wrong: Reshare is not a standalone permission; resharing is handled via the Share permission. It does not grant the ability to create reports.
- B
Build
Build is correct. It allows creating new reports based on the dataset without modifying or sharing it.
- C
Write
Why wrong: Write allows modifying the dataset, which is more than the user needs and is not the minimum permission.
- D
Read
Why wrong: Read only allows viewing existing reports, not creating new ones. It is insufficient for the user's requirement.

Build permission
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
