GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer Practice Question

Your organization uses on-premises Microsoft Active Directory as the authoritative source for user identities. Google Cloud Directory Sync (GCDS) runs every night to keep Google Workspace in sync. A project manager asks whether the help-desk team can update an employee's phone number only in the Google Admin console and rely on the next GCDS cycle to push that change back into Active Directory. What accurately describes how GCDS will behave in this situation?

  • GCDS can write attribute changes back to Active Directory if write-back is enabled in the synchronization profile.

  • GCDS supports bidirectional synchronization for groups but not for individual user attributes like phone numbers.

  • The help-desk can enable the Cloud Directory API in the Admin console to allow GCDS to propagate Google Workspace edits to Active Directory on the next sync.

  • The change will remain only in Google Workspace because GCDS synchronizes data in one direction-from Active Directory to Google-without updating the LDAP source.
