Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Assign permissions to Active Directory groups rather than local vCenter users when integrating directory services.
Why this is correct
Integrating directory services and assigning roles to groups simplifies lifecycle management when users join or leave the organization.
- ✓
Apply the principle of least privilege by assigning custom or built-in roles with only necessary access rights.
Why this is correct
Users and groups should only be granted the minimum permissions required to perform their specific job functions.
- ✗
Disable the Administrator@vsphere.local account permanently immediately after installation.
Why it's wrong here
The SSO administrator account should be secured and retained for break-glass emergency scenarios, not permanently deleted.
- ✗
Assign all administrators the Global Administrator role to prevent lockout scenarios.
Why it's wrong here
Granting global administrative rights universally violates security best practices.
- ✗
Assign permissions directly to individual user accounts for easier tracking.
Why it's wrong here
Assigning permissions to groups (such as Active Directory groups) is recommended over individual accounts to ease administration.
