The process of deploying an account, host, or application to a target production environment, including proving identity and issuing credentials and access permissions, is called what?

• A. RBAC
• B. Provisioning
• C. Attestation
• D. Permissions

Answer: (B)

The process being described is provisioning. Provisioning is the lifecycle management of identities and resources as they move into production—creating accounts, hosts, or applications, confirming who is allowed to access them (proving identity), issuing the necessary credentials, and granting the appropriate access permissions. It covers setting up everything needed for production use and ongoing management, including issuing tokens or keys and assigning the rights they require. RBAC is a policy framework that defines access based on roles rather than describing the setup process itself. Attestation focuses on verifying trust or compliance of a component after deployment. Permissions refer to the rights granted to perform certain actions, which are part of provisioning but do not describe the deployment and setup process itself. Provisioning is the term that best fits the described activity.
