Question #235
You are creating a Dual Control workflow for a team’s safe.
Which safe permissions must you grant to the Approvers group?
- A . List accounts, Authorize account request
- B . Retrieve accounts, Access Safe without confirmation
- C . Retrieve accounts, Authorize account request
- D . List accounts, Unlock accounts
Correct Answer: C
C
Explanation:
When setting up a Dual Control workflow for a team’s safe in CyberArk’s Privileged Access Management (PAM), the Approvers group must be granted specific permissions to function effectively within the workflow. The permissions required for the Approvers group are to ‘Retrieve accounts’ and ‘Authorize account request’. This allows the Approvers to retrieve the necessary account details and also to authorize requests for access as part of the dual control mechanism. These permissions ensure that the workflow operates smoothly and securely, with the Approvers having the ability to review and approve access requests as needed.
Reference: The answer is derived from the best practices and guidelines provided in the CyberArk Defender PAM course and learning resources, which include the official CyberArk documentation and study guides. Specifically, the CyberArk documentation outlines the importance of the ‘Retrieve accounts’ and ‘Authorize account request’ permissions for Approvers in a Dual Control workflow

Question #236
Which of the following Privileged Session Management solutions provide a detailed audit log of session activities?
- A . PSM (i.e., launching connections by clicking on the "Connect" button in the PVWA)
- B . PSM for Windows (previously known as RDP Proxy)
- C . PSM for SSH (previously known as PSM SSH Proxy)
- D . All of the above
Correct Answer: D
D
Explanation:
All of the Privileged Session Management solutions provide a detailed audit log of session activities. PSM, PSM for Windows, and PSM for SSH enable organizations to secure, control and monitor privileged access to network devices by using Vaulting technology to manage privileged accounts and create detailed session audits and video recordings of all IT administrator privileged sessions on remote machines1. PSM also provides additional audit features such as SQL Command Level Audit, Windows Events Audit, and Universal Keystrokes Audit1. PSM for Web captures a detailed transcript of cloud application user activity to enable a security manager or auditor the ability to monitor sessions for suspicious or restricted operations2.

Question #237
You created a new safe and need to ensure the user group cannot see the password, but can connect through the PSM.
Which safe permissions must you grant to the group? (Choose two.)
- A . List Accounts Most Voted
- B . Use Accounts Most Voted
- C . Access Safe without Confirmation
- D . Retrieve Files
- E . Confirm Request
Correct Answer: B, D
B, D
Explanation:
To ensure that a user group can connect through the Privileged Session Manager (PSM) without seeing the password, you must grant the Use Accounts and Retrieve Files permissions to the group for the safe. The Use Accounts permission allows users to initiate sessions using accounts without viewing the account details or passwords. The Retrieve Files permission enables users to retrieve files during PSM sessions without having access to the passwords1.

Time of day or day of week restrictions on when password verifications can occur configured in ____________________.
- A . The Master Policy
- B . The Platform settings
- C . The Safe settings
- D . The Account Details
Correct Answer: C
C
Explanation:
Time of day or day of week restrictions on when password verifications can occur are configured in the Safe settings. This is a security feature that prevents Safes from being opened except at certain times (e.g., 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.). If a user tries to enter at a time that has not been designated for access, they will receive a message that informs them that the Safe is unavailable.

Question #239
Which combination of Safe member permissions will allow end users to log in to a remote machine transparently but NOT show or copy the password?
- A . Use Accounts, Retrieve Accounts, List Accounts
- B . Use Accounts, List Accounts
- C . Use Accounts
- D . List Accounts, Retrieve Accounts
Correct Answer: B
B
Explanation:
The Use Accounts permission enables Safe members to log in to a remote machine through a PSM connection from the Accounts List or the Account Details page. The List Accounts permission enables Safe members to view the Accounts list. However, to show or copy the password, the Safe members also need the Retrieve Accounts permission, which allows them to view and copy the account value in the Account Details page or the Accounts list. Therefore, the combination of Use Accounts and List Accounts will allow end users to log in to a remote machine transparently but not show or copy the password.

The Use Accounts permission enables Safe members to log in to a remote machine through a PSM connection from the Accounts List or the Account Details page. The List Accounts permission enables Safe members to view the Accounts list. However, to show or copy the password, the Safe members also need the Retrieve Accounts permission, which allows them to view and copy the account value in the Account Details page or the Accounts list. Therefore, the combination of Use Accounts and List Accounts will allow end users to log in to a remote machine transparently but not show or copy the password.
