CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 133
A systems administrator is setting up a Windows computer for a new user. Corporate policy requires a least privilege environment. The user will need to access advanced features and configuration settings for several applications. Which of the following BEST describes the account access level the user will need?
Answer options
- A. Power user account
- B. Standard account
- C. Guest account
- D. Administrator account
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The Power user account is the best option as it provides more privileges than a Standard account without granting full administrative rights, aligning with the least privilege policy. A Standard account would limit the user's access to advanced features, while a Guest account has minimal permissions unsuitable for application configuration. An Administrator account offers too many privileges, which contradicts the least privilege principle.
