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
✓
Account Groups assigned to specific Role profiles via RBAC.
Prisma Cloud Enterprise Edition uses Account Groups combined with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to enforce strict resource segmentation and tenant isolation.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Separate Prisma Cloud Consoles with different root passwords.
Why it's wrong here
While separate tenants isolate data, Prisma Cloud supports unified management through Account Groups within a single tenant.
- ✓
Account Groups assigned to specific Role profiles via RBAC.
Why this is correct
Account Groups group specific cloud accounts together, and RBAC restricts user access to only those authorized Account Groups.
- ✗
IP Whitelisting rules applied to the Identity Provider (IdP) integration.
Why it's wrong here
IP whitelisting restricts network access locations, not resource visibility within the console.
- ✗
Resource tagging policies enforced via AWS Organizations SCPs.
Why it's wrong here
SCPs are native AWS constructs, whereas Prisma Cloud uses Account Groups for native console isolation.
