AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 67

Which of the following is a characteristic of the AWS account root user?

Answer options

• A. The root user is the only user that can be configured with multi-factor authentication (MFA).
• B. The root user is the only user that can access the AWS Management Console.
• C. The root user is the first sign-in identity that is available when an AWS account is created.
• D. The root user has a password that cannot be changed.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the root user is indeed the first identity created when an AWS account is set up. Option A is incorrect as other users can also be configured with MFA. Option B is false because while the root user can access the console, IAM users can also be granted access. Option D is wrong since the root user’s password can be changed.
