Your company is told that it must follow strict requirements for auditing purposes when creating user accounts for each department. Which feature in clustered Data ONTAP accomplishes this task?

LDAP integration provides centralized directory-based authentication but does not by itself enforce or audit departmental access control policies within ONTAP.

Workgroup access is a peer-to-peer Windows networking model for small environments and has no relevance to ONTAP user account creation or auditing.

Role-based access control (RBAC) in clustered Data ONTAP allows administrators to define specific roles with granular permissions and assign them to individual user accounts, directly satisfying strict auditing requirements for departmental account creation. RBAC provides a structured, traceable way to control and log what each account is authorized to do across the cluster. Administrators can create custom roles, restrict command access, and associate roles with local or domain accounts for full auditability.

Mixed-mode security refers to a volume security style that allows both UNIX and NTFS permissions to coexist, not to user account provisioning or auditing.
