I thought it also relates to separation of duties?

I’m a bit confused; could it also be about role-based access control? I feel like both could apply in some way.

I remember practicing a question about access controls, and it mentioned least privilege too. That seems right.

Okay, I've got this. The Versa Controller is responsible for providing connectivity to the rest of the head-end components and for Internet breakout to the SD-WAN branches. Those are the two key roles I'm confident about.

Okay, I've got a strategy here. I know that Exchange stores email data in EDB and STM files, so those will definitely be important to review. Temporary files and cookie files could also potentially contain clues, so I'll make sure to check those as well.

The trusted computing base should be as small as possible, and root access certainly doesn't fit that bill. Option D is not the way to go.

Separation of duties is the key here. Mixing admin and user roles opens the door to all kinds of mischief. I'd go with option C.

Running all processes as root or administrator definitely violates the principle of least privilege. We should only grant the minimum access required for a process to function.
