Question 20
A marketing analyst needs only read access to one S3 data set. Which response BEST fits this cloud scenario?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Grant narrowly scoped permissions following the principle of least privilege.

A clear way to confirm success is: The analyst can read approved objects but cannot delete them or read unrelated buckets. To sustain the result: Review scope when the analyst's job changes.
