Exam 220-1102 topic 1 question 155 discussion

Power User group was a valid option in Windows XP, but in Windows Vista and later (including 10/11), it has been deprecated. Windows 10/11 primarily use Standard and Administrator accounts.

I think it's B cause Power user has been deprecated in recent Win 10 updates.

A Power User account provides more privileges than a Standard account but fewer than an Administrator account. It allows the user to access advanced features and configuration settings for applications without granting full administrative rights, which aligns with the principle of least privilege.

it's A

This question is designed specifically so the answer can be Power User. "Least Access"

It's in the exam objectives. What else is a power user, if not this description? Admin > Power User> Standard User..... plus bruh it's in the objectives

The user will need a A. Power user account. In a Windows environment, a Power User account is a type of user account that has more permissions than a standard user account but fewer than an Administrator account.

just imagine, if the user need don't need access to advanced features & configuration ,which account you gonna create for him? guest account? of course not. we will create a simple standard account for that user. but in given scenario when the user need access to some advanced features & configuration, we have to crate a power user account. power user account holder has more power to some specific features and configuration than a standard user but less power compare to an administrator account. hope it's clear now.

Power user accounts haven't been really relevant in Windows since Windows 7. Just use a Standard account unless your org doesn't mind a user-space Administrator account and expects the user computer to detonate (meaning a user-space backup tool would be a good idea.)

require the least administrative control. Answer is A.

I'm leaning towards A. Power User. My reasoning is, a power user uses advanced features of computer hardware, operating systems, programs, or websites which are not used by the average user. Since an average user falls under a standard account that elimates B. Guest accounts are temporary so that eliminates C. And lastly the questions basically implies the user will have access to features and configuration settings for "several" applications not ALL applications which eliminates Administrative Account since that account has Access to make changes to the FULL system.

standard

B. Standard account A standard user account provides restricted access compared to an administrator account but allows users to use most software and make some system changes that don't affect the overall system configuration. It's a suitable choice for users who need to perform advanced tasks within the boundaries of their applications but should not have full control over the system's settings or security.

Given that the user needs to access advanced features and configuration settings for several applications, but also considering the need for a least privilege environment, the best choice here would be: ANSWER= Standard account

You can make a user account & put it under the Power Users group in Windows 10 & 11 Pro. Access this setting by going to Local Users and Groups (lusrmgr.msc). You can give the created user account access to advanced features & configuration settings for applications (to read, write, execute & modify) while eliminating access to mess with the Command Line Interface (CLI).

A standard account provides the user with the necessary access to use most software and change system settings that do not affect other users or the security of the computer. If the user needs to perform tasks that require administrative privileges, such as accessing advanced features and configuration settings for several applications, they can do so by providing the credentials of an administrator account when prompted by User Account Control (UAC).

It's either standard user or admin account for this one as the guest account should be disabled and power user is deprecated due to privilege escalation issues. The scenario presented indicates the user will not need access to everything an administrator has access to, and for that reason, I pick Standard User. Sure you could make the user part of a group with proper permissions.
