Question 290
At the Brookfield commercial bank, an Azure operator receives subscription Owner privileges to read one storage account's diagnostics. What risk should the team identify as the primary issue?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The specific data failure is that Azure RBAC ties allowed actions to role assignments and inheritance at management-group subscription resource-group or resource scope. It can be addressed through the controlled change to assign a suitable built-in read role at the smallest necessary Azure resource scope. This result addresses the stated challenge at the Brookfield commercial bank.
Incorrect Answers
This explanation belongs to a different security or compliance situation. In this case, the observable gap is that Azure RBAC ties allowed actions to role assignments and inheritance at management-group subscription resource-group or resource scope. For the Brookfield commercial bank, the direct corrective action is to assign a suitable built-in read role at the smallest necessary Azure resource scope.
A compromised identity may be abused from different locations so user-level risk is not restricted to one connection. That may occur elsewhere, but the evidence at the Brookfield commercial bank instead points to the fact that Azure RBAC ties allowed actions to role assignments and inheritance at management-group subscription resource-group or resource scope.
The proposed cause is relevant to system-assigned versus user-assigned identity, but it does not explain why Azure RBAC ties allowed actions to role assignments and inheritance at management-group subscription resource-group or resource scope in the reported case. For the Brookfield commercial bank, the direct corrective action is to assign a suitable built-in read role at the smallest necessary Azure resource scope.
