Which type of access group allows users to log into Designer Studio?

The correct answer is the access group. An access group in Pega is a foundational component used to manage security and access permissions for users. This configuration allows users to log into the Designer Studio, as it defines the specific roles and capabilities that a particular user or group of users has within the application.

Access groups serve as a bridge between a user’s identity and the roles they assume while interacting with Pega. They define what users can see and do in the application environment by associating roles and security settings. When a user logs into Designer Studio, they must do so through an access group that grants them the appropriate level of access necessary to perform their tasks.

Other options, such as user role, access control list, and application group, play different roles in the security model. A user role specifies what permissions a user has, but it must be tied to an access group to provide entry into Designer Studio. An access control list (ACL) relates to defining detailed permissions for specific actions and instances within Pega, while an application group organizes applications for development but does not directly facilitate login access to Designer Studio.
