XSOAR-Engineer Planning Installation And Maintenance Practice Question
When planning a multi-tenant Cortex XSOAR deployment, which THREE design considerations must an administrator evaluate? (Choose three)
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
✓
How role-based access control (RBAC) restricts users to their specific tenant accounts.
Multi-tenancy planning requires evaluating user role segregation between tenants, integration instance sharing vs. isolation, and shared content distribution from the root tenant.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configuring independent Linux kernels for each tenant container.
Why it's wrong here
Tenant isolation is logical at the application and database schema level, not via separate OS kernels.
- ✓
How role-based access control (RBAC) restricts users to their specific tenant accounts.
Why this is correct
Tenant boundaries rely on RBAC to prevent cross-tenant data access.
- ✗
Allocating a separate physical server for each child tenant.
Why it's wrong here
Multi-tenancy in XSOAR shares a single server instance, not separate physical servers per tenant.
- ✓
Distributing content packs from the root tenant to child tenants.
Why this is correct
Root administrators can push playbooks and integrations down to child tenants.
- ✓
Whether integrations should be configured globally at the root level or individually per tenant account.
Why this is correct
Administrators must decide if integrations are shared from root or configured per tenant.
