Question

Options

• AThe "administrators'' group
• BThe "content-authors' group
• CThe "contributor'' group
• DThe "workflow-administrators'' group

• A
  8% (4)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  89% (47)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

Option C (contributor) is correct because it follows the principle of least privilege - the contributor group grants only the minimum permissions needed to create and edit content, which is exactly what a content author requires.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (administrators) - Far too broad; admins have full system control, violating the least-privilege requirement.
• B (content-authors) - This is a plausible distractor, but in most CMS platforms (e.g., AEM), the "content-authors" group may carry broader or more specialized permissions beyond the minimum needed; contributor is the baseline editing role.
• D (workflow-administrators) - This grants rights to manage and configure workflows, which is unrelated to basic content editing.

Memory tip: Think of "contributor" like a Wikipedia editor - they can add and edit content, but they can't change site settings or manage other users. When a question asks for minimum rights for an editing role, contributor is almost always the answer.
