CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 434

An administrator wants to automate an account permissions update for a large number of accounts. Which of the following would best accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. Security groups
• B. Federation
• C. User provisioning
• D. Vertical scaling

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Using Security groups is the most efficient way to manage permissions for multiple accounts simultaneously, as they allow for the grouping of users and the application of permissions at the group level. Federation and User provisioning are more about identity management and access control rather than directly updating permissions, while Vertical scaling pertains to increasing resources for a system rather than managing user accounts.
