Which of the following is NOT a step involved in using the Master User?

The correct determination that submitting a request for approval is not a step involved in using the Master User aligns with the established practices in privileged access management.

The use of a Master User typically involves critical actions such as retrieving the required credentials or cryptographic materials, which may include a CD from a physical safe, loading necessary files into the vault server, and pointing configuration files (like dbparm.ini) to the Recovery Private Key. These steps are directly related to ensuring secure access to privileged accounts and managing sensitive data.

In contrast, the process of submitting a request for approval does not typically fall under the responsibilities or actions taken by the Master User. The Master User is generally responsible for the technical aspects of managing access and does not engage in the administrative steps of seeking approval, which would likely be managed by a different role or part of the governance process. This distinction clarifies the workflows in privileged access management and ensures clear responsibilities among different roles in the system.
