CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 31

A company is implementing a SaaS solution with a large user base. SaaS solution licensing is user based, and user management is critical to keep the cost in check. Which of the following is the MOST efficient way to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Have the administrator of the SaaS solution keep track of user activities.
• B. Have a nightly upload to the SaaS provider of the current user base based on API call.
• C. Have users remove their SaaS accounts when they no longer need the service.
• D. Have a weekly user management script maintain the SaaS user base.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because having an administrator monitor user activities allows for real-time oversight and management of user accounts, ensuring that only active users are retained, thus controlling costs effectively. Options B and D involve delayed actions that might not respond quickly to changes in user status, while option C places the responsibility on users, which may lead to incomplete account management.
