ACP-120 Sample Questions

  1. Question 1

    Advanced

    Access, Permissions, Security · Determine appropriate administrator privileges

    A financial services organization is migrating from Jira Server to Jira Cloud. The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) dictates that the billing department must manage subscriptions and user licensing, the IT operations team must manage site access and user provisioning, and the agile coaching team must configure Jira software schemes and workflows. Which combination of administrator roles should be assigned to these teams respectively to adhere to the principle of least privilege?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: D

    Organization Admins manage billing, subscriptions, and domains. Site Admins manage user access, groups, and site-level settings. Product Admins (Jira Admins) manage product-specific configurations like schemes and workflows without having access to billing or user provisioning. This setup perfectly aligns with the principle of least privilege.

  2. Question 2

    IntermediateMultiple answers

    Access, Permissions, Security · Configure global permissions

    The compliance team at Globex Corp needs to review all user accounts and group memberships across the Jira Cloud instance. However, security policies prohibit them from modifying any Jira configurations, creating projects, or altering workflows. Which TWO actions must you take to grant this access? (Select TWO)

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answers: A, D

    The 'Browse Users and Groups' global permission allows users to view all users and groups in the instance without granting them any administrative rights to change system configurations.

    Global permissions in Jira Cloud can only be granted to groups, not individual users or project roles. Therefore, creating a group is the necessary first step.

  3. Question 3

    Beginner

    Access, Permissions, Security · Configure project permissions

    A marketing department wants to start using Jira Cloud. They request a new project where anyone in the company can view and create requests, but only the core marketing team members can transition or edit the issues. They explicitly ask for a setup that they can manage themselves without needing to submit IT tickets for every new team member. Which access configuration is the most appropriate?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: A

    Team-managed projects allow project admins to manage their own access. The 'Limited' access level allows anyone on the Jira site to view and create issues, but only people added to the project's internal roles can edit or transition them.

  4. Question 4

    Intermediate

    Access, Permissions, Security · Determine appropriate administrator privileges

    You are auditing a company-managed project's permission scheme to ensure it scales efficiently as the organization grows from 50 to 500 employees. Currently, the 'Resolve Issues' permission is granted to the 'jira-software-users' group, and the 'Delete Issues' permission is granted to the 'engineering-leads' group. Why is this considered an administrative anti-pattern in Jira?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: D

    Best practice dictates using Project Roles in permission schemes rather than Groups. If groups are hardcoded into the scheme, you must create a new permission scheme for every project that has a different set of users. Using Project Roles allows you to share one permission scheme across hundreds of projects, simply changing the role members at the individual project level.

  5. Question 5

    Intermediate

    Access, Permissions, Security · Configure issue-level security

    A legal team uses a company-managed project to track contract reviews. Some contracts are highly confidential. When a user creates a confidential issue, they populate a custom field called 'External Counsel' (a User Picker field) with the name of the external lawyer assisting them. The team wants to ensure that ONLY the Reporter, the Assignee, and the specific user named in the 'External Counsel' field can view the issue. How can this be achieved?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    Issue Security Schemes control visibility at the individual issue level. Security levels can dynamically grant access to users based on standard fields (like Reporter and Assignee) as well as User Picker and Group Picker custom fields.

  6. Question 6

    Beginner

    Access, Permissions, Security · Configure issue-level security

    True or False: In a company-managed project, a sub-task can be assigned a different, more restrictive Issue Security Level than its parent issue to hide specific sub-tasks from users who can otherwise view the parent.

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    False. Sub-tasks strictly inherit the security level of their parent issue. You cannot apply a different security level to a sub-task to make it more or less restrictive than its parent.
