Which setting would restrict a user's access only to the first group they belong to?

The setting that restricts a user's access only to the first group they belong to is known as "FirstApplicable." This mechanism operates under the principle that when evaluating permissions, CyberArk checks for the access rights assigned to a user based on their memberships in various groups. The access rights assigned to the first applicable group encountered during this evaluation process will take precedence, effectively limiting the user's overall permissions to what is defined in that first group.

In practical terms, if a user belongs to multiple groups but is configured with the "FirstApplicable" setting, they will only be granted the rights and privileges defined for their first group, ignoring any additional permissions that may be inherited from subsequent groups. This helps in simplifying access control by ensuring that permissions are not accumulated from multiple sources, thereby promoting a clean and restrictively controlled access environment.

This approach contrasts with other settings like cumulative privilege, which would allow a user to accumulate permissions from all groups they belong to, potentially leading to broader access than desired. DenyOverrides cumulative privilege indicates that, while cumulative privilege could apply, any deny rule from a higher priority will override it. Object level control allows for granular permission settings but does not restrict based on group order as "FirstApplicable" specifically does. Thus, "FirstApplicable
