A cloud administrator needs to give a new developer access to contents in a directory stored in a public cloud provider. Which of the following is the BEST way to do this?

Adding the developer to an appropriate role leverages Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), which is the standard, secure, and scalable method in public cloud providers for managing permissions according to the principle of least privilege, ensuring the developer receives only the required access.

Creating a new folder and copying content duplicates data, leading to storage inefficiency, data sprawl, and potential consistency issues.

Copying content to a local computer creates unmanaged copies, poses security risks, and does not provide continuous access to the live cloud directory.

Temporarily giving administrator credentials is a severe security breach that violates the principle of least privilege and introduces significant risk.
