T/F: Each PT is responsible for creating their own historical build users.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Only if approved

Answer: (B)

Access control and provisioning in test environments is handled through a centralized process, not by each individual tester. Historical build users are special-purpose accounts used to reproduce past builds and ensure consistent credentials and permissions across the environment. If every PT created their own accounts, it would break audit trails, create duplicate or conflicting permissions, and make it hard to track who has access to what. Instead, these accounts are pre-provisioned or requested through a controlled workflow managed by IT or release engineering. So, the statement is false because the responsibility lies with the centralized provisioning process, not with each PT.
