Question 350
An employee can read a report only if they belong to the Finance group, regardless of which workstation they use. Which permission model is applied?
Explanation
Correct Answer
RBAC maps membership in a defined role to allowed resources. For this case, regardless of which workstation they use. Identity lifecycle includes proofing, authentication, authorization and deprovisioning; success in one phase never automatically establishes success in another. The competing choice “A location-only firewall ACL” addresses a different mechanism: network source does not establish membership in the Finance role. That difference is material to the requested decision. Membership should be provisioned and reviewed through accountable role assignment; changing workstations should not silently grant access when the authorized role is absent.
Incorrect Answers
A user-chosen grant is a different permission model. Identity lifecycle includes proofing, authentication, authorization and deprovisioning; success in one phase never automatically establishes success in another. Here the decisive fact is regardless of which workstation they use. “Role-based access control using assigned business roles” matches that requirement because RBAC maps membership in a defined role to allowed resources.
Network source does not establish membership in the Finance role. Network restrictions govern allowed flows and trust boundaries, not every application-layer input or business permission. In the reported situation, regardless of which workstation they use. The effective mechanism is “Role-based access control using assigned business roles”: RBAC maps membership in a defined role to allowed resources.
Mandatory labels evaluate classification rather than a Finance group role. Identity lifecycle includes proofing, authentication, authorization and deprovisioning; success in one phase never automatically establishes success in another. Here the decisive fact is regardless of which workstation they use. “Role-based access control using assigned business roles” matches that requirement because RBAC maps membership in a defined role to allowed resources.
