Checks the course Configuring roles and permissions. No pass mark — it is here so you can check yourself.

Question 1

Question 1 of 5

What is the guiding principle when granting access in ProFinda?

Give everyone admin so nothing is blockedLeast privilege - grant the narrowest role that lets the person do their jobCopy whatever access their predecessor hadGrant access per individual field

Narrow grants prevent both data exposure and the support queue that follows over-broad access.

Question 2

Question 2 of 5

Why does the course recommend using the built-in roles before creating custom ones?

Custom roles cost extraBuilt-in roles are tested combinations; a proliferation of custom roles becomes unauditable and hard to reason aboutCustom roles cannot see availabilityBuilt-in roles cannot be assigned to admins

Every custom role is something a future admin must understand; the built-ins cover most real needs.

Question 3

Question 3 of 5

A user reports "I can't see X". Where should an admin look first?

The integration logsThe user's assigned role and its visibility scopeThe skills ontologyThe news feed

Almost all visibility complaints trace back to the role and scope the user holds.

Question 4

Question 4 of 5

In the permission model, what typically controls who can raise demand?

Anyone with a login can raise demand by default in every configurationA role capability, so the firm decides which populations can submit requestsOnly ProFinda support can raise demandThe utilisation dashboard

Raising demand is a role capability, which is one of the small number of decisions the course says to make deliberately.

Question 5

Question 5 of 5

How often should role assignments be reviewed?

Never once setPeriodically and on movers and leavers, so access tracks people's actual jobsEvery dayOnly after a security incident

Access drifts as people change roles; a periodic review plus joiner-mover-leaver checks keeps it aligned.
