Which term corresponds to the Access Control Matrix?

Which term corresponds to the Access Control Matrix?

• A. Identity Synchronization
• B. Auto-provisioning
• C. Self-service Requests
• D. Access Control Matrix

Answer: (D)

Access control matrices model permissions by listing what operations each subject can perform on each object. Rows represent subjects (users or processes), columns represent objects (resources), and each cell shows the allowed rights. In practice this concept is realized as access control lists on resources or capability lists assigned to subjects. The term that corresponds to the Access Control Matrix is the same—the model is literally called the Access Control Matrix. The other options describe related IAM activities (keeping identity data in sync, automatically provisioning accounts and access, or handling user requests) rather than the structural representation of who can do what to which resources.
