Question 73 - D-PSC-MN-01 discussion

Tenant-specific administration involves managing specific zones or tenants within a Dell EMC PowerScale environment. This requires a certain level of privileges that allows administrators to control resources without having full system-wide access.

Zone Role-Based Access Control:

Definition:

Zone role-based access control allows administrators to assign permissions to users or groups for specific zones or tenants.

Functionality:

Enables delegation of administrative tasks within a particular zone without granting system-wide privileges.

Benefits:

Enhances security by limiting access.

Simplifies management in multi-tenant environments.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

System Root Privileges (Option B):

Root privileges grant full access to the entire system, which is not necessary for tenant-specific tasks.

System Admin Privileges (Option C):

Similar to root, system admin privileges are broader than needed.

Role-Based Access Control (Option D):

While general role-based access control is related, zone role-based access control is specifically designed for tenant administration.
