Manage Automation Content · Upload a collection to automation hub
You are administering a Private Automation Hub. A partner team wants to publish collections to the
partner_opsnamespace. You have created the namespace. Which configuration ensures that only the 'Partner Ops' group can upload collections to this specific namespace while preventing them from modifying others?Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Permissions in Automation Hub can be scoped to specific namespaces. Assigning the group ownership or upload rights specifically on the
partner_opsnamespace ensures they can manage content there without affecting other namespaces. - Question 3Beginner
Manage Access to Ansible Automation Platform · Configure organization roles
A Junior Administrator needs to launch a specific Job Template named 'Restart Web Servers' to resolve an incident. They should not be able to modify the playbook, the inventory, or the credentials used by the job. Which role should you grant this user on the Job Template?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The 'Execute' role allows a user to launch a Job Template without giving them the ability to edit the template or change the underlying resources (playbooks, credentials). This fits the requirement of allowing job execution while maintaining configuration integrity.
- Question 4Beginner
Manage Access to Ansible Automation Platform · Configure user types
You need to create a user account for an external auditor who requires read-only access to all objects within the Automation Controller installation to verify compliance. They should not be able to edit or execute any automation. Which User Type should you select?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
The 'System Auditor' user type implicitly grants read-only access to all resources in the system (across all organizations) but does not allow any modification or execution capabilities.
- Question 5Intermediate
Manage Access to Ansible Automation Platform · Associate users with teams
You are organizing your automation team. You have three members who need to manage the inventory for the 'Finance' organization. They should be able to add hosts, create groups, and update variables, but they should not be able to delete the inventory itself or change its access permissions. Which role should you assign to the 'Finance Team' on the specific Inventory object?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The 'Update' role on an Inventory allows users to modify the inventory's contents (hosts, groups, variables) and run inventory syncs, but it does not grant permission to delete the inventory object or manage its RBAC permissions (which requires 'Admin').
- Question 6Intermediate
Manage Access to Ansible Automation Platform · Create automation controller users and teams
A new developer, Alice, reports she cannot see the 'Cloud-Ops' Project in her dashboard. You verify she is a member of the 'Cloud-Devs' team. The 'Cloud-Devs' team has the 'Member' role on the 'Cloud-Ops' Organization. What additional configuration is required to allow Alice to see and use the Project?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Organization membership alone does not grant access to resources (Projects, Inventories) within that organization unless specific roles are assigned. To see/use a Project, the user or their team must have at least the 'Use' role on that Project (or a higher level role like Project Admin).
