What does the Services Access user policy prevent targeted users from doing?

The Services Access user policy is designed to enhance security by restricting specific interactions with managed services. By selecting the option that states this policy prevents targeted users from modifying and querying the managed services' properties, it underscores the core objective of the policy, which is to safeguard the integrity and configuration of those services.

When users are prevented from modifying or querying managed services' properties, this limits the potential for unauthorized changes that could compromise the security or functionality of critical services within an environment. This is particularly important in maintaining control over how services operate and ensuring that only authorized personnel have the ability to alter service settings or retrieve sensitive configurations.

In contrast, the options regarding accessing user account privileges, creating new service accounts, or monitoring service usage, while relevant to the overall security framework, do not specifically align with the prime purpose of the Services Access policy. Instead, they cover different aspects of user management and service account controls that are addressed by other policies or mechanisms within CyberArk’s suite of security tools.
