Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Developer Associate — Question 76

You are responsible for setting up access for all the cloud users of a large enterprise. You log in to the Phoenix region and start creating users and policies. You then realize that some users might be creating resources in the Ashburn region.
Which step should you perform to enable those users?

Answer options

• A. You can assign a region to each of the users at the time of creation.
• B. Identity and Access Management (IAM) users are global and non-admin users can add resources to any region by default.
• C. You need to log in to each region separately to create users for that particular region.
• D. IAM users are global. As an administrator, make sure that you subscribe to the Ashburn region.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because IAM users are global, but to enable resource creation in a specific region like Ashburn, the administrator must ensure subscription to that region. Option A is incorrect as regions cannot be assigned at user creation. Option B is misleading since non-admin users do not have default access to all regions. Option C is unnecessary since IAM users are global and do not require individual region logins.
