I feel like A is too risky. Shared users can lead to security issues.

True, but multiple users are clearer for tracking activities.

But what about option D? Connected Apps could provide better control.

I agree with Elly. It’s safer for auditing too.

I think option C is the best. Unique users for each system ensure least privilege.

A shared user? No way, that’s a security risk!

I think D could work too, but it might be overkill.

I’m not completely clear on the differences between the options, but I think having a unique integration user for each system could complicate things. Maybe a shared Connected App is simpler?

I practiced a similar question where we had to consider security. I feel like using a Connected App for each integration could help with both security and auditing.

I'm a bit unsure, but I think a shared integration user might not meet the auditing requirements. Could option D be better for tracking activities?

I remember discussing the principle of least privilege in class, so I think option C makes sense since it allows for unique permissions for each system.
