Explanation
New users in PowerFlex are automatically assigned the Read-only user role (D), which grants the least privileged access by default - a standard security principle of least privilege that ensures new accounts cannot accidentally modify or disrupt the storage system. Administrator (A) is wrong because that role carries full system control and would never be granted by default. Operator (B) is incorrect as it allows operational tasks like managing volumes, which requires explicit authorization. Monitor (C) is a plausible distractor since it sounds passive, but it is a distinct role with broader visibility permissions than the default Read-only assignment.
Memory tip: Think "new = no-touch" - PowerFlex defaults new users to Read-only so they can see the system but not touch it until an admin grants more access.
