Test your knowledge of User Provisioning and Deprovisioning

Question 1

A company has recently hired new employees and has instructed the IT team to give them appropriate access to resources. As an administrator, which process will you follow?

Correct Answer: User provisioning

User provisioning is the process of creating, assigning, and managing necessary user accounts and access permissions. Other choices refer to different aspects of identity and access management.

Question 2

You are attempting to transfer a large file over the network, and reliability is more important than speed. Which transport protocol should you use?

Correct Answer: TCP

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is the best choice for transferring a large file over the network when reliability is more important than speed. TCP provides reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of data between applications running on hosts communicating over an IP network. It ensures that all packets are received correctly and in the right order, making it suitable for situations where data integrity is crucial, such as transferring large files. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is faster but does not guarantee reliable delivery, making it less suitable for this scenario. ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is used for diagnostic and control purposes, not for data transfer. IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is used for managing multicast group membership, which is not relevant to the given scenario.

Question 3

A security administrator needs to temporarily prevent a user's access to secure files, without deleting their account. What action should the administrator take?

Correct Answer: Suspend the user account

Suspending the user account temporarily prevents access to secure resources, without permanently deleting the account. Other choices provide different methods for managing user access which may not be suitable in this scenario.
