Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Infrastructure v6.5 (NCP-MCI) — Question 15

An administrator needs to provide access for a user to view real time performance metrics for all VMs on all clusters across the datacenter.
Which method accomplishes this with the least effort and ongoing maintenance?

Answer options

• A. Configure AD authentication, create a custom role, assign the user to the role, and apply the role to all clusters and VMs.
• B. Configure IDP authentication and assign the user to the Cluster Admin role in Prism Central.
• C. Configure AD authentication and assign the user to the Viewer role in Prism Element.
• D. Configure local account and assign the new user to the Viewer role in Prism Central.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because creating a local account and assigning the Viewer role in Prism Central is straightforward and requires minimal effort for ongoing maintenance. Options A and C involve additional complexity with AD authentication and role assignments that can increase maintenance. Option B assigns a higher-level role than necessary, which may expose more permissions than intended.
