Exam AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner topic 1 question 877 discussion

The best practices for using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) are: Create individual IAM users. This allows you to have more control over each user’s permissions and access keys. Use groups to assign permissions to IAM users. This makes it easier to manage permissions for multiple users at once. Option A is incorrect because sharing access keys is not a best practice and can lead to security issues. Option C is incorrect because customer managed policies are more flexible and easier to manage than inline policies. Option D is incorrect because granting maximum privileges to IAM users can lead to security issues.

B&E answer

Answer: BE

To me B&E are correct. I don't understand why the solution is A&C. Can someone explain? Are the solutions proposed by this website reliable?

B&E are correct answers.

B. Create individual IAM users: It is recommended to create individual IAM users for each person or entity accessing your AWS resources. This allows for better accountability and control over access permissions. Each user should have a unique set of credentials to access the AWS account. E. Use groups to assign permissions to IAM users: Groups in IAM allow you to group users with similar roles and responsibilities together and assign permissions to the group. This simplifies permission management, as you can assign or revoke permissions for multiple users by managing the group's permissions instead of individual user permissions.
