Sitecore 10 .NET Developer Certification — Question 18

As a Developer, why should you assign security to roles instead of users when setting up security on a site?

Answer options

• A. Security can be managed more efficiently as the rights and permissions apply to a group of users.
• B. Role-based security allows multiple users to have the same username but different passwords.
• C. Assigning security to roles enables individual rights and permissions to be configured by users.
• D. Individual users with a role can set their own item security permissions.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Assigning security to roles allows for more streamlined management since rights and permissions can be applied to groups rather than handling each user individually, making it efficient. The other options either misrepresent the functionality of role-based security or suggest a level of individual configuration that contradicts the benefits of role management.
