Landing Zone, OUs, and Organizational Control Quiz ​

This quiz tests your understanding of Landing Zone, OUs, and Organizational Control.


  1. What precedes IdentityCenterBaseline activation in Control Tower 4.0?
    • A) No baseline
    • B) CentralSecurityRolesBaseline and its prerequisite CentralConfigBaseline
    • C) BackupCentralVaultBaseline
    • D) Identity Center itself requires Config in every environment
Show Answer

Answer: B) CentralSecurityRolesBaseline and its prerequisite CentralConfigBaseline

Explanation: This is a dependency of the Control Tower-managed baseline, not a universal Config prerequisite for the Identity Center service.


  1. Which statement describes the Control Tower 4.0 Security OU?
    • A) Every OU is a Security OU
    • B) The OU containing service-integration Accounts is designated the Security OU
    • C) Security OUs were removed
    • D) Every general Account there receives all baselines
Show Answer

Answer: B) The OU containing service-integration Accounts is designated the Security OU

Explanation: Integration Accounts share a parent OU and are managed through the landing zone. AWSControlTowerBaseline/ConfigBaseline do not apply to that Security OU. Separate placement of general operations Accounts is a design choice.


  1. Why can layered SCP bundles conserve direct-attachment quota?
    • A) Document limits disappear
    • B) Inherited policies do not consume the child’s direct attachments
    • C) Child allows override parent denies
    • D) Root has unlimited quota
Show Answer

Answer: B) Inherited policies do not consume the child’s direct attachments

Explanation: The direct-attachment limit is 10 SCPs per entity. Inheritance does not consume these slots, but effective constraints from parent policies still apply.


  1. Which statement correctly describes RCP attachments and inheritance?
    • A) They grant permissions directly
    • B) They cannot be inherited
    • C) RCPFullAWSAccess uses one of five slots; design the remaining direct slots and inheritance together
    • D) Their size limit equals SCPs
Show Answer

Answer: C) RCPFullAWSAccess uses one of five slots; design the remaining direct slots and inheritance together

Explanation: Four direct slots remain and documents allow 5,120 characters. This budget does not prohibit layered inheritance. Check supported resources and principal exceptions.
