220-1102 Question #224: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A systems administrator is setting up a Windows computer for a new user. Corporate policy requires a least privilege environment. The user will need to access advanced features and configuration settings for several applications. Which of the following BEST describes the account access level the user will need?

Options

• APower user account
• BStandard account
• CGuest account
• DAdministrator account

Explanation

To balance the requirement for a least privilege environment with the need for a user to access advanced application features, a Power user account is the most suitable access level.

Common mistakes.

• B. A Standard account adheres strictly to least privilege but typically requires administrator credentials for advanced application settings, which contradicts the user's need for direct access.
• C. A Guest account has extremely limited permissions and cannot access advanced features or configuration settings for applications.
• D. An Administrator account grants full control over the system, violating the corporate policy's requirement for a least privilege environment.
