Explanation

Operator is correct because it is specifically designed for limited administrative tasks - it grants the ability to enable and disable services and servers while providing read-only access to everything else, matching the scenario's requirements exactly.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. Read-only - grants only viewing permissions; administrators cannot enable or disable anything, making it insufficient for this role.
• C. Sysadmin - provides full system administrative privileges, which violates the "limited-privilege" requirement of the scenario.
• D. Network - scoped to network-level configuration tasks; it does not map to the service/server enable-disable operations described.

Memory tip: Think of "Operator" like a machine operator on a factory floor - they can start and stop the machines (enable/disable services/servers) but cannot redesign the whole factory (no full admin rights). The name itself signals operational control without full ownership.
