EX294 Deploy Ansible Automation Platform Practice Question
Which THREE are valid user roles within an Automation Controller organization? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse 'Organization team_member' with a valid role, not realizing that team membership is distinct from organization-level roles, or they may incorrectly select 'Superuser' thinking it is an organization role when it is actually a global system role.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Organization auditor
In Automation Controller (Ansible Tower), an organization defines a set of users, teams, and resources, and it grants three built-in user roles: Organization admin, Organization member, and Organization auditor. Option B (Organization admin) is correct because this role has full administrative rights over the organization, including managing users, teams, projects, inventories, and credentials within it. Option E (Organization member) is correct because this role grants standard access to use the organization's resources, such as running job templates, without administrative privileges. Option A (Organization auditor) is correct because this role provides read-only visibility into the organization's objects and activity for auditing purposes. Option C (Organization team_member) is not a valid organization-level role; team membership is a separate association, and roles like member/admin are assigned to teams rather than being an organization role itself. Option D (Superuser) is a system-wide role that sits above organizations and is not one of the organization-scoped user roles.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Organization auditor
Why this is correct
Organization auditor is a built-in Automation Controller role granting read-only visibility across all objects within a single organization, including inventories, credentials, job templates and projects. It satisfies the stem's requirement for a valid organization-scoped user role, distinct from system auditor, which spans the entire controller instance rather than one organization.
- ✓
Organization admin
Why this is correct
Organization admin is a built-in Automation Controller role granting full administrative control over a single organization, including its users, teams, projects, inventories and credentials. It satisfies the stem's requirement for a valid organisation-scoped user role, sitting below System Administrator but above roles such as Organization member and Organization auditor.
- ✗
Organization team_member
Why it's wrong here
Automation Controller assigns roles such as Admin, Auditor, Editor, Executive, Member, Operator, Project Admin, System Administrator and System Auditor; team_member is not among them. It is tempting because organisations do group users into teams, and team membership is a real construct, but it is not a role granted within an organisation.
- ✗
Superuser
Why it's wrong here
Superuser is a platform-level designation in AWX and Automation Controller, not one of the organisation roles such as Admin, Member, Editor, Operator, Auditor or Project Admin. It is tempting because superusers hold sweeping privileges across the whole controller, but organisation membership roles are assigned separately from that system-wide flag.
- ✓
Organization member
Why this is correct
Organization member is a built-in Automation Controller role granting read access to the organization's resources without administrative privileges. It satisfies the stem's requirement for a valid organisation-level user role, alongside Organization admin and Organization auditor, and is assigned directly to users or teams within that organisation.
