AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 805

Which task must a user perform by using the AWS account root user credentials?

Answer options

• A. Make changes to AWS production resources.
• B. Change AWS Support plans
• C. Access AWS Cost and Usage Reports
• D. Grant auditors access to an AWS account for a compliance audit

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Changing the AWS Support plan is a restricted administrative task that can only be performed by the AWS account root user. Other tasks, such as managing production workloads, accessing billing reports, or provisioning IAM access for auditors, can and should be handled by IAM users or roles to adhere to security best practices.
