In what way can the SWE team gain access to SQA's resources?

Converting the SWE distribution group into a security group is the correct approach for gaining access to SQA's resources because security groups allow administrators to assign permissions to a set of users collectively. When the SWE team is made a security group, it can be granted the necessary permissions to access specific resources that SQA controls. This method aligns with best practices in managing access control in an organization, as it centralizes user management and enhances security.

When a distribution group is utilized, it simply facilitates email communication and does not enable any access rights to resources. Thus, changing the distribution group into a security group provides the SWE team with the capability to manage permissions properly, which is essential for accessing shared resources safely and effectively. Other options, such as using personal accounts or public access folders, may pose security risks or lack the necessary control and management capabilities that a security group affords.
