OneTrust Certified Privacy Professional Practice Exam

What factors determine a user's permissions in the OneTrust platform?

1. User's organizational membership and system settings.

2. Managing Organization and Role.

3. User's geographical location and device.

4. User's subscription level and payment status.

The correct answer is: Managing Organization and Role.

The determination of a user's permissions in the OneTrust platform is primarily based on the Managing Organization and Role assigned to that user. This allows for robust user management and access control, ensuring that individuals within the system can only interact with the data and functionalities pertinent to their responsibilities. The Managing Organization indicates which organizations the user is affiliated with, which can dictate the scope of access they have, including data specific to that organization. Additionally, the Role assigned to a user defines their level of access and the specific permissions they are granted, such as administrative privileges, editing capabilities, or view-only access. This role-based approach helps maintain security and operational integrity by aligning user access to their duties within the organization. While other factors like geographical location or subscription level can indeed influence aspects of user behavior or what features are available to them, they do not directly control access permissions on the OneTrust platform in the same systematic way that Managing Organization and Role do.
