[All AWS Certified Security - Specialty SCS-C02 Questions]

A company needs a security engineer to implement a scalable solution for multi-account authentication and authorization. The solution should not introduce additional user-managed architectural components. Native AWS features should be used as much as possible. The security engineer has set up AWS Organizations with all features activated and AWS IAM Identity Center (AWS Single Sign-On) enabled.
Which additional steps should the security engineer take to complete the task?

A. Use AD Connector to create users and groups for all employees that require access to AWS accounts. Assign AD Connector groups to AWS accounts and link to the IAM roles in accordance with the employees’ job functions and access requirements. Instruct employees to access AWS accounts by using the AWS Directory Service user portal.
B. Use an IAM Identity Center default directory to create users and groups for all employees that require access to AWS accounts. Assign groups to AWS accounts and link to permission sets in accordance with the employees’ job functions and access requirements. Instruct employees to access AWS accounts by using the IAM Identity Center user portal.
C. Use an IAM Identity Center default directory to create users and groups for all employees that require access to AWS accounts. Link IAM Identity Center groups to the IAM users present in all accounts to inherit existing permissions. Instruct employees to access AWS accounts by using the IAM Identity Center user portal.
D. Use AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory to create users and groups for all employees that require access to AWS accounts. Enable AWS Management Console access in the created directory and specify IAM Identity Center as a source of information for integrated accounts and permission sets. Instruct employees to access AWS accounts by using the AWS Directory Service user portal.

Selected Answer: B

A. AD Connector only provides connectivity, not managing users. C. IAM users should not need to be created in all accounts - results in admin overhead. assume role instead. D. Letting end users DIY access in AWS Management Console, AWS Directory Service user portal is not a good idea.

Keywords: "Native AWS features should be used as much as possible" Therefore choose to use Identity Center's own directory, plus there is no mention to on-prem AD and hence AD connector does not make sense. For the same reason, using AWS Directory Service - Managed MS AD does not fit with native AWS feature. Option B is the right answer.

Selected Answer: B

Normally we would use AD Connector to connect to on-premises AD. But option A doesn't come close to that. Hence option B.
