Which area does User Administration cover?

• A. User Account Management
• B. Audit and Management Reviews
• C. Detecting Unauthorized/Illegal Activities
• D. Temporary Assignment and In-house Transfers

Answer: (A)

User Administration is about managing identities and access for people who use the systems. The main tasks involve provisioning new user accounts, updating and maintaining user profiles and roles, handling password resets, and deprovisioning accounts when someone leaves or changes roles. It also covers assigning and adjusting permissions, managing group memberships, and overseeing the identity lifecycle to ensure users have the access they need for their job—and no more. This focus on creating, modifying, and removing user accounts and their access rights is what defines this area. Other options—auditing and management reviews (monitors controls and compliance), detecting unauthorized activities (security monitoring), or handling temporary assignments and in-house transfers (movement of individuals and related access changes)—are related to broader security and governance activities, but they are not the primary scope of User Administration.
