1Z0-1072-26 Identity And Access Management Practice Question
Your organization wants to grant an external team of auditors read-only access to a specific compartment named FinanceAudits without creating individual IAM users for each auditor. You decide to use identity federation with a SAML 2.0-compliant Identity Provider (IdP). Which of the following steps is NOT required to achieve this?
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
✓
Manually create individual IAM user accounts for each auditor in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.
To federate an IdP, you must configure the IdP, create an IdP group, map that IdP group to an OCI group, and write a policy granting the OCI group access. You do not manually create local IAM users for the federated users.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Map the Identity Provider's user group to an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure IAM group.
Why it's wrong here
Group mapping is essential for translating IdP groups to OCI groups.
- ✗
Create an IAM policy granting the mapped OCI group read access to the FinanceAudits compartment.
Why it's wrong here
Policies are required to authorize the mapped group in OCI.
- ✓
Manually create individual IAM user accounts for each auditor in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.
Why this is correct
Federation avoids the need to manually provision individual user accounts in OCI.
- ✗
Configure the Identity Provider (IdP) metadata XML file in the OCI IAM identity provider console.
Why it's wrong here
Uploading the metadata XML file is necessary to establish the trust relationship.
