CCAR-P Exam Topic 2 Question 11 Discussion:
Question #: 11
Topic #: 2
You are supporting an engineer whose Claude Code session reports a permission denial when the engineer expected the action to be allowed.
Which resolution step is most appropriate?
A.
Tell the engineer to retry the denied action verbatim repeatedly until the denial stops appearing, without inspecting the active permission rules to determine whether the denial is intentional.
B.
Disable the permission system entirely across all scopes to remove the denial, eliminating all tool-pattern and deny-rule controls rather than identifying and amending the specific rule.
C.
Inspect the active permission rules across all scopes—managed, command-line, local, project, and user—to identify which rule is denying the action and confirm whether it should be amended or remain denied.
D.
Grant the engineer unrestricted Bash access to bypass the specific rule causing the denial, removing all tool-pattern constraints rather than amending only the rule in question.
Claude Code permission decisions can be affected by multiple configuration scopes. The appropriate diagnostic action is to inspect the effective rules and identify the exact deny pattern. Managed policy has the highest precedence, and a deny rule from any applicable scope cannot be overridden by an allow rule elsewhere. The architect must then determine whether the denial represents an intentional security boundary or an incorrectly scoped rule. If correction is justified, only the specific rule should be amended. Repeated retries cannot change a deterministic permission decision. Disabling permissions or granting unrestricted Bash access removes safeguards far beyond the reported problem and violates least privilege. Anthropic’s permission documentation explicitly describes scope precedence and deny-first evaluation. Claude Code permissions
