Why is granting broad administrator rights "for convenience" a governance failure?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Convenience grants are dangerous because they hand users both sensitive data access and the ability to change the controls around it. Those rights often stick around forever because nobody goes back to review or revoke them.
Full Explanation
The correct answer is the option stating that broad administrator rights let users read sensitive data and change controls beyond their role, and that such grants are rarely reviewed or revoked. Administrator rights include reading data the person has no business need for and modifying the controls themselves, so the grant undermines both confidentiality and the integrity of the governance model. In practice, these grants persist indefinitely because nothing prompts a review.
The option claiming administrator accounts are limited to a small fixed number per platform is incorrect because there is no such hard cap; the objection is risk, not availability.
The option claiming administrator rights prevent a user from running ordinary queries is incorrect because administrators can run queries normally.
The option claiming broad rights slow query execution because more policies must be evaluated is incorrect because performance is not the concern; policy evaluation cost is negligible next to the exposure.
For the exam, reject convenience as a justification for privilege, and expect least privilege as the answer.
