0Ben’s organization has hired a new HR supervisor, Jack. When Jack was hired, Ben was asked to provide Jack with the same rights and permissions as the other HR supervisor, Erin. What is the most important issue Ben should identify with this process if the organization wants to follow identity and access management best practices?
Answer Options
A
Jack’s account should be provisioned based on his role, not on Erin’s rights.
B
Jack may not be senior enough to have access to the same systems as Erin does.
C
Erin may work with a different staff than Jack does.
D
Jack should not have access to Erin’s files.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
While all of these are potential problems, Jack’s account should not be provisioned to match Erin. Instead, provisioning based on role is an IAM best practice. Jack’s seniority, the staff he works with, and file access should all be determined by his role.
