CLF-C02 practice question: IAM users, groups and policies (2 of 2)
Security and Compliance A free question from our original CLF-C02 practice exam. Try it, then open the answer to see why each option is right or wrong.
An auditor asks for one file that lists every IAM user in a single AWS account, showing whether each user has MFA turned on and when each user's access keys were last rotated.
The file must open in a spreadsheet.
What is the quickest way to provide it?
Choose one answer.
AA. Run IAM Access Analyzer and export its findings for the account
BB. Export the last-accessed data from IAM Access Advisor for each user
CC. Download the AWS Artifact report for the account from the console
DD. Generate and download the IAM credential report as a CSV file
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: D
A. Wrong: Access Analyzer finds resources shared with outside accounts. It does not list MFA status or key rotation dates for each user.
B. Wrong: Access Advisor shows which services a user or role has used and when. It does not show MFA status or when access keys were rotated.
C. Wrong: AWS Artifact provides AWS's own compliance reports and agreements, not details about the customer's IAM users.
The IAM credential report is generated per account and downloaded as a CSV file. It lists every IAM user with columns such as mfa_active and access_key_1_last_rotated, which is what the auditor needs. The other options answer different questions: Access Analyzer finds shared resources, Access Advisor shows service use, and Artifact holds AWS's own compliance documents.
