CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 172

The management team notices that new accounts that are set up manually do not always have correct access or permissions.
Which of the following automation techniques should a systems administrator use to streamline account creation?

Answer options

• A. Guard rail script
• B. Ticketing workflow
• C. Escalation script
• D. User provisioning script

Correct answer: D

Explanation

A User provisioning script is designed specifically to automate the creation of user accounts and assign the appropriate access and permissions, making it the correct choice. In contrast, a Guard rail script is intended for enforcing rules, a Ticketing workflow manages requests rather than account creation, and an Escalation script is used for handling urgent issues rather than streamlining account setups.
