HOTSPOT -
You have an Azure key vault.
You need to delegate administrative access to the key vault to meet the following requirements:
✑ Provide a user named User1 with the ability to set advanced access policies for the key vault.
✑ Provide a user named User2 with the ability to add and delete certificates in the key vault.
✑ Use the principle of least privilege.
What should you use to assign access to each user? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

Suggested Answer:
User1: RBAC -
RBAC is used as the Key Vault access control mechanism for the management plane. It would allow a user with the proper identity to:
✑ set Key Vault access policies
✑ create, read, update, and delete key vaults
✑ set Key Vault tags
Note: Role-based access control (RBAC) is a system that provides fine-grained access management of Azure resources. Using RBAC, you can segregate duties within your team and grant only the amount of access to users that they need to perform their jobs.
User2: A key vault access policy
A key vault access policy is the access control mechanism to get access to the key vault data plane. Key Vault access policies grant permissions separately to keys, secrets, and certificates.

I think this is outdated. Because now you can use RBAC also to handle data plane.

best practice would be to use RBAC for both management and data plane but depends on the age of the question...so better follow the current one

RBAC can be used for key vault data plane operations such as certificate management now. Answer should be RBAC for both. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/general/security-features

Agree! Actually it is the recommended way (always RBAC over access policies if you can)

a source of confusion because I think the recommendation now is to use RBAC for all keyvault access, but I can't seem to find anything definitive

Azure Key Vault access policies can have least privilege assigned for the requirement of “to add and delete certificates in the key vault”. Please refer to Azure Key Vault access policies assignment UI: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/general/assign-access-policy?tabs=azure-portal

hang on, you can use either RBAC or vault access policy when creating the Key vault. But not both. So if using RBAC, you can't use vault access policy again? right? ref: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/general/rbac-guide?tabs=azure-cli#enable-azure-rbac-permissions-on-key-vault

User1 is at management plane; user 2 is at data plane. So they can choose authentication method independantly.

RBAC can also be used to grant data plane access by using a Key Vault access policy https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/general/security-features#privileged-access
