AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 245

An external auditor has requested that a company provide a list of all its IAM users, including the status of users' credentials and access keys.

What is the SIMPLEST way to provide this information?

Answer options

• A. Create an IAM user account for the auditor, granting the auditor administrator permissions.
• B. Take a screenshot of each user's page in the AWS Management Console, then provide the screenshots to the auditor.
• C. Download the IAM credential report, then provide the report to the auditor.
• D. Download the AWS Trusted Advisor report, then provide the report to the auditor.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the IAM credential report provides a comprehensive summary of all IAM users, their credentials, and access keys in a single document. Options A and B are not practical as they introduce unnecessary complexity and may not provide complete information. Option D is incorrect because the AWS Trusted Advisor report does not focus specifically on IAM user credentials.
