To minimize access for a contractor to manage an inventory application in Citrix Cloud, which permission should be granted to the contractor?

• A. Custom access in Citrix Cloud
• B. Cloud Administrator in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Service
• C. Help Desk Administrator in Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Service
• D. Full Administrator in Citrix Cloud

Answer: (A)

The key idea is least privilege with granular access. For a contractor who only needs to manage a single inventory application, you restrict permissions to exactly what’s needed for that resource, rather than handing broad admin rights. Custom access in Citrix Cloud lets you define permissions scoped to specific resources (the inventory application, its delivery groups, related configurations, monitoring, etc.). This means the contractor can perform the required management tasks on that app without gaining access to other apps, settings, or the overall service. Granting broader roles like Cloud Administrator or Full Administrator would give wide-ranging control across the Citrix Cloud environment, which isn’t necessary and increases risk. A Help Desk Administrator role is typically focused on user support tasks and doesn’t provide the targeted app-management capabilities needed here. So, using custom access provides the precise, limited scope needed to minimize exposure while enabling the contractor to manage the inventory application.
