Salesforce Certified Marketing Cloud Consultant — Question 32

An employee in a customer's IT department is responsible for maintaining the Login IP Whitelist and SFTP locations in Marketing Cloud. The IT Director has asked that this employee be given the minimum permissions necessary to complete only these tasks.
How should the Consultant configure the IT employee's account?

Answer options

• A. Administrator role, with all Content and Subscriber permissions disabled
• B. Marketing Cloud Security Administrator role with account-wide access
• C. Data Manager role with access to only the Parent Business Unit
• D. Custom role with limited Administrator permissions enabled

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because granting the Administrator role with all Content and Subscriber permissions disabled provides the necessary access for the employee to manage the Login IP Whitelist and SFTP locations without extra permissions. Options B and C provide excessive access that goes beyond the minimum required, and option D does not ensure the same level of restricted access as option A.
