Which security level must be active to deploy an application to the test environment of a licensed node in the Mendix cloud?
None
Prototype/demo Security
App Security
Production security
2
What effect does security have on the navigation of the application?
The visibility of menu items is affected by Page and Microflow security
The visibility of menu items is affected by entity security
The visibility of menu items is not affected by security
With security enabled, only administrators can see menu items
3
Why can you define security settings on both project and module level?
It makes it easy to reuse modules.
It makes the application more secure.
It allows for a better overview.
It is a W3C standard to separate project and module security.
4
A user role must have one or more module roles in every module
False
True
5
Which is NOT a level of app security?
Prototype/demo
Off
Production
Test
6
When should you configure security in your app development?
Just before user testing
When the security user story is complete
When deploying to production
As soon as possible
7
Entity access is set at which security level?
Microflow
Module
Application
Association
8
What is the name for app level security profiles?

9
Does Mendix allow anonymous users?
False
True
10
Consider a situation in which there is an entity called Request with an attribute status that has three values: Draft, Submitted, and Approved. There are three user roles: Administrator, Customer, and Employee. The Customer user role is granted the Customer module role. The only access rule configured is read/write access for the Customer with the XPath [Status = Draft] applied. What would a user with the Customer user role see on a page with a data grid without any additional XPath constraints?
All the results, but read-only access for non-draft requests.
No results would be returned.
All the requests.
All the requests in the Draft status.
11
Consider the exact same situation as the previous question. What would Admin users see?
No results would be returned.
All the results, but read-only for non-draft requests.
All the requests.
All requests in the Draft status.
12
Consider the same situation again. What would happen if you granted Admin users access to a page with the Request entity in Studio Pro?
Studio Pro would detect an error and prevent a deployment.
Admin users would be able to view the page.
Users would see no error message, but Security errors would appear in the logs.
Admin users would see an error pop-up window when attempting to access the page.
13
How does the platform use entity access XPaths to enforce security?
The business server interprets the XPaths to prevent sensitive data from entering the system memory.
All of these answer options are correct.
The user's browser translates the XPaths to show or hide action buttons.
The XPaths are added to all the relevant database retrieves.
14
Where are entity access restrictions applied?
All of these answer options are correct.
On relevant database retrieves.
On every microflow.
On every page.
15
Which of the following best describes how the Mendix platform applies entity access?
The platform only grants the access explicitly defined in the entity access rules.
The platform grants read access to all attributes, but write access must be explicitly specified.
The platform grants read/write access to all Admin users.
The platform assumes access is granted until it is explicitly removed.
16
In this domain model, assume that House is a specialization of Building:
Admin users will be able to read the SquareFoot attribute in data views for Buildings and read and write in data views for Houses.
Admin users will never be able to write to the SquareFoot attribute, but they will be able to write to the Bedrooms attribute.
Since House is a specialization of Building, an Admin will be able to read and write the SquareFoot in data views containing both Buildings and Houses.
17
Referring to the same domain model as was used in previous question, if we create a page with a data grid containing Houses and autogenerate a House_NewEdit page, which of the following statements is FALSE for an Admin user?
Admin users will not be able to create new Houses or delete existing Houses using the default buttons in the control bar of the data grid.
Admin users will be able to read the SquareFoot attribute.
Admin users will be able to edit the SquareFoot attribute.
Admin users will not see the SquareFoot attribute in the Edit page.
18
Why is it more secure to add security rules on the entity level?
Entity level restrictions affect what the end-users will see.
Users will not see entities to which they have no access.
Entity level security secures each entity throughout the application.
Entity level restrictions are applied at the database level and are thus automatically applied throughout the application.
19
For the following questions, assume there is an app with three user roles: Administrator, Teacher, and Student. Administrators are granted the ability to manage all user roles, and Teachers can manage users with the Student role. Which of the following statements is false?
Administrators will be able to create and delete accounts for all students and teachers.
Administrators and teachers can create teacher accounts.
Administrators are able to create other administrator accounts.
Teachers and administrators are able to edit the details of student accounts.
20
Let's say you want Teachers to be able to manage accounts for Students, but only the Students who are in their class. So, you grant Teachers the ability to manage users with the Student role in the app security menu. Will this be sufficient?
Yes, because Accounts are a specialization of the User entity.
Yes, because now Teachers can edit the account details of the Students.
No, because teachers will have the ability to edit the accounts of any Student, not just their own.
No, because only Admins should have the ability to edit accounts.
21
What is a benefit of assigning only one user role to each user?
It requires users to create a new account if they need to change roles.
Simplicity
Better representation of business specific processes.
It is inherently more secure.

42

Inheritance is used to:
Reuse attributes of an entity on other entities, so that you don’t need to add and maintain them multiple times.
Inherit the structure and behavior of an entity, so that all specializations can be used individually within the same process.

Three tables, one per entity plus a join table
Two tables, one per entity
49
What will happen to the ID’s after generalizing the Player and Staff entities by the Person entity?
There are no changes to the ID’s when inheriting.

The ID of the Person part of a Player or Staff will differ from the specialization part.
Same set and sequence for Player and Staff, the ID of person will differ.

55
What happens when you apply an index?
The speed of Read actions will decrease.
The speed of Update and Inserts will increase.

56
The app performance is affected by a reference set (both) because:
Both entities needs to be joined with the reference table and data transfer increases.
You cannot store additional information in a reference set (both).
The join table must be queried as well.

Why is it a best practice to redeploy your app after cleaning up the model?
You might be confronted with unexpected and/or complex sync behavior during a next deployment.
It is not considered a best practice; only junior developers benefit from it.
It has always been done this way. Legacy support.
Obsolete data in the database cannot have security applied and thus creates a security breach.
