Question 1150
Original unofficial RHEL 10 RHCSA skill-check scenario: A developer believes a correct username proves the process is allowed by SELinux to read any file that user owns. Which observation best confirms the intended outcome?
Explanation
Correct Answer
In this RHEL 10 system administration case: A developer believes a correct username proves the process is allowed by SELinux to read any file that user owns. Underlying reason: SELinux decisions also depend on domain and object type, not just Unix ownership. The most direct, approved resolution is: Inspect the process's SELinux domain and the file's security type before attributing access. Confirm it by checking: Context inspection reveals the mandatory-policy boundary even when UID matches. Sustain the fix by: Validate service domains as well as user IDs. This is the INTENDED response for the strongest objective verification result. It is a knowledge-check explanation, not a verified hands-on Red Hat exam answer;
Incorrect Answers
The file and process types explain the access decision without changing broad Unix permissions. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because SELinux decisions also depend on domain and object type, not just Unix ownership.
New payroll reports are not readable by unrelated local users. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because SELinux decisions also depend on domain and object type, not just Unix ownership.
The intended file type survives relabel and reboot tests. That is not sufficient for the reported RHEL task, because SELinux decisions also depend on domain and object type, not just Unix ownership.
