Step 1

Define the minimum read and write permissions for every workflow. Scope access by user, tenant, resource, and action.

Avoid generic tools such as unrestricted SQL or shell access when a narrow domain tool can express the same capability.

Step 2

Apply Least privilege to a realistic production scenario and trace the decision step by step.

Step 3

Add implementation notes or a runnable example for this concept.

Step 4

Write down the inputs, expected output, constraints, and one failure case for Least privilege.

Step 5

Quiz coming soon.

Step 6

Design a production-ready solution for Least privilege and explain one important trade-off.

Work through every step in order, then the lesson will be marked complete.
