Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Scope policies to specific compartments rather than the tenancy root whenever feasible.
Why this is correct
Compartment-level scoping prevents overly broad access across the entire tenancy.
- ✗
Hardcode API signing keys directly into public source code repositories.
Why it's wrong here
Hardcoding credentials is a critical security vulnerability.
- ✓
Grant the minimum permissions necessary for users to perform their jobs (Principle of Least Privilege).
Why this is correct
Always scope verbs and resource types as narrowly as possible.
- ✗
Always assign the 'manage all-resources' role to every user to simplify troubleshooting.
Why it's wrong here
That violates all security best practices and exposes the tenancy to severe risk.
- ✗
Use tenancy-wide administrative policies for all standard developers.
Why it's wrong here
Developers should only have access to their assigned project compartments.
