CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 166

Users are reporting intermittent access issues with a new cloud application that was recently added to the network. Upon investigation, the security administrator notices the human resources department is able to run required queries with the new application, but the marketing department is unable to pull any needed reports on various resources using the new application. Which of the following MOST likely needs to be done to avoid this in the future?

Answer options

• A. Modify the ACLs.
• B. Review the Active Directory.
• C. Update the marketing department's browser.
• D. Reconfigure the WAF.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as modifying the Access Control Lists (ACLs) can address the permission issues that are likely preventing the marketing department from accessing the needed reports. The other options do not directly resolve access control issues; reviewing Active Directory (B) may help in understanding user permissions but does not guarantee a fix, updating the browser (C) is unlikely to affect application access, and reconfiguring the WAF (D) pertains to web application security rather than user access rights.
