CLF-C01 Exam - Question 34


A global media company uses AWS Organizations to manage multiple AWS accounts.

Which AWS service or feature can the company use to limit the access to AWS services for member accounts?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

Service Control Policies (SCPs) in AWS Organizations are specifically designed to manage and limit access to AWS services for member accounts. SCPs enable centralized control over the maximum permissions that can be granted to member accounts, thereby allowing the organization to restrict AWS services usage across all accounts within its hierarchy. IAM, OUs, and ACLs serve different purposes and do not provide the same scope of cross-account service access limitations.

It is limiting services to member accounts from AWS Organizations. SCP is used for limiting access for any number of member accounts. Answer is B

Prates_BR - Should do more reading he correct answer is B. Service control policies (SCPs). AWS Organizations helps to manage multiple AWS accounts in a centralized manner. SCPs are a feature of AWS Organizations that allow an organization to set rules that govern the use of AWS services across all accounts in the organization. SCPs can be used to restrict the use of specific AWS services or to impose additional conditions or requirements on the use of those services. SCPs are applied at the organizational unit (OU) level, so organizations can create different policies for different groups of accounts within their AWS Organization. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a service that enables you to manage access to AWS services and resources securely. IAM is used to create and manage users, groups, and permissions. It can be used in conjunction with SCPs to further restrict access to AWS services

SCPs are the best choice for this situation as they allow control over access to multiple AWS accounts within an AWS organization, while IAM is used to manage access to a single AWS account.

n AWS Organizations, you can centrally control permissions for the accounts in your organization by using service control policies (SCPs). SCPs enable you to place restrictions on the AWS services, resources, and individual API actions that users and roles in each account can access.

SCPs offer central control over the maximum available permissions for all accounts in your organization. SCPs help you to ensure your accounts stay within your organization’s access control guidelines. SCPs are available only in an organization that has all features enabled. SCPs aren't available if your organization has enabled only the consolidated billing features. For instructions on enabling SCPs, see Enabling and disabling policy types.

The answer is C because under module 6 on the AWS Skill builder cloud practitioner learn pathway, it was stated that Organization units are used to manage accounts with similar business or security requirements. Also, when a policy is applied to ou, all accounts in the OU inherit the policy

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_getting-started_concepts.html Service control policy (SCP) A policy that specifies the services and actions that users and roles can use in the accounts that the SCP affects. SCPs are similar to IAM permissions policies except that they don't grant any permissions. Instead, SCPs specify the maximum permissions for an organization, organizational unit (OU), or account. When you attach an SCP to your organization root or an OU, the SCP limits permissions for entities in member accounts.

JEJELO

the keyword in the question is "member accounts" which means organisation unit while the SCP is attached to OU. the correct answer is C. Please note is advisable to attach SCP to an account. best practise is that SCP is attached to OU.

An organizational unit (OU) is a construct used to represent an organization whose resources are logically separate from those resources of other, similar organizations. You use OUs to control access to resources and to ensure data segregation.

Which type of policy limits AWS permissions with AWS organizations? SCPs are policies that specify the maximum permissions for an organization, organizational unit (OU), or an individual account. An SCP can limit permissions for principals in member accounts, including the AWS account root user. if OU is the answer that would mean that I'm having serious issues with english...

Rivii
Nov 20, 2022

An organizational unit (OU) is a logical grouping of accounts in your organization, created using AWS Organizations. OUs enable you to organize your accounts into a hierarchy and make it easier for you to apply management controls. AWS Organizations policies are what you use to apply such controls. but the question asks for a service or a feature.... so to me a SCP is an OU service or feature that alllows to limit permissions....

The AWS service or feature that the company can use to limit access to AWS services for member accounts is B. Service control policies (SCPs). Service control policies (SCPs) are a type of organization policy that allow an AWS account administrator to set permissions that specify which AWS services and features can be used by member accounts within an organization. SCPs can be used to restrict access to specific services or features at the organizational unit (OU) or account level. By using SCPs, the global media company can restrict the usage of AWS services and features that are not required for its member accounts.

Yasser001
May 11, 2023

The correct answer is B. Service control policies (SCPs). The global media company can use Service Control Policies (SCPs) to limit access to AWS services for member accounts within their AWS Organization. SCPs allow the company to set permission guardrails at the organization level to control which AWS services and features can be accessed by member accounts. SCPs provide a way to centrally manage permissions and restrict the maximum available permissions for the member accounts within the organization. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is used to manage user access to AWS resources and is typically used at the account level. Organizational Units (OUs) are used to group and organize member accounts within an organization, and Access Control Lists (ACLs) are used to control access to network resources. However, neither IAM, OUs, nor ACLs provide the ability to limit access to AWS services at the organization level like SCPs.

ESAJRROption: B
Jun 16, 2023

Here's how the company can use SCPs to limit access to AWS services: Create a Service Control Policy: The company can define a custom SCP using the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policy language. The policy can specify the services or actions that are allowed or denied for member accounts. Attach the SCP to OUs or accounts: The created SCP can be attached to specific OUs or individual accounts within the AWS Organizations hierarchy. When an SCP is attached to an OU, it automatically applies to all accounts within that OU, including any existing or future accounts. Alternatively, SCPs can be attached directly to individual accounts. Control access permissions: The SCP defines the permissions for the member accounts. It can limit access to specific AWS services or actions by using allow or deny statements. By default, new member accounts inherit the permissions defined by the organization's root SCP, and additional SCPs can be layered to further refine access control.

SCPs allow an administrator to restrict service-level permissions for accounts within the organization, setting limits on which services can be accessed. The other options are not directly used to limit access to AWS services for member accounts in an AWS Organizations context: A. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM): IAM is used to manage permissions and access within individual accounts, but does not control access to services in member accounts across AWS Organizations. C. Organizational Units (OUs): OUs are used to organize and rank accounts within the structure of AWS Organizations, but are not used to limit access to specific services. D.
