You are reviewing a logistics management platform and use Postman to check if user credentials stored in environment variables allow access beyond intended permissions. You suspect one set of credentials grants unauthorized privileges. Which action reveals a restricted endpoint?
Change a single request string by hand and focus testing on a single parameter set
Perform automated scans using default role configurations
Use saved tokens in repeated requests and check for resource access based on response codes
Substitute variable references with placeholders and review any returned errors for insights
Sending multiple requests with each credential set in environment variables and analyzing responses can uncover responses meant for higher-level roles. Relying solely on default scans might miss hidden paths, while focusing on a single request string or disregarding returned outputs can miss unexpected configurations or roles.
