NCP-MCI v6.5 Exam - Question 21


Which two types of granular RBAC does Nutanix provide for AHV hosts? (Choose two.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AB

Nutanix provides granular RBAC through cluster-based and category-based approaches. Cluster-based RBAC allows administrators to assign roles and permissions specific to a cluster, providing control over cluster-wide operations. Category-based RBAC enables more granular access control by categorizing entities and assigning roles based on these categories, offering flexibility in managing permissions across different parts of the infrastructure.

Based on Nutanix University video I would say that answer A and D are correct. https://youtu.be/lV2SxVak6YI?si=cthDhFLr1KBK8Z2s&t=296

I think A is pretty certain: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Nutanix-Security-Guide-v6_7:sec-cluster-rbac-pc-c.html The question is vague, but I think B is the other option, as custom roles can be assigned to an entity in "a category, in a cluster, or an individual entity" per https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Nutanix-Security-Guide-v6_7:ssp-ssp-role-assignment-pc-t.html I could also make a case for D if the cluster was setup for self service and depending on how you define "for AHV hosts" but it's more limited and more about the VMs on the hosts than the hosts themselves.

A. Cluster Based... typo B. Category based

A is correct. The debate was between category and project. But is seems Nutanix is not supporting RBAC for category...so the answer is D (project) https://www.nutanix.dev/code_samples/category-permissions-for-project-users/

yes, I have seen "Nutanix does not have RBAC on Categories." in Nutanix document.

Granular way is to set cluster based and category based. Project based is for assigning particular user. AB is correct

Chatgpt says A (cluster based) and B (category based) are correct. So I choose A, B

the right answers are A and D, both are part of the built in roles https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Nutanix-Security-Guide-v6_7:ssp-ssp-built-in-roles-pc-r.html

Can not find a solidified answer to this question. Documentation just circles it... any input?

Going through the exam prep references for 6.10 and it clearly states that RBAC can be applied to "clusters, categories, etc". I would not have picked categories if I had not seen this reference though.
