What is the outcome of not installing multiple CPMs when needed?

When multiple Central Policy Managers (CPMs) are not installed when needed, the management of accounts across different sites can indeed become complex. This complexity arises because a single CPM serves as the point of control for managing privileged accounts, and if it is overburdened with requests or tasked with managing a widespread environment, it may struggle to efficiently handle the demands placed on it.

Without multiple CPMs, the ability to distribute tasks and manage policies across various locations becomes limited. This can lead to challenges in synchronizing access controls and maintaining compliance, as different sites may have varying requirements or security policies. Consequently, administrators may find it more challenging to enforce policies, monitor access, and ensure that account management processes remain standardized across the organization.

The other outcomes presented do not accurately reflect the consequences of not installing multiple CPMs. For instance, increasing access times or reducing overall costs are unlikely outcomes of a centralized management approach that becomes cumbersome due to insufficient CPMs. Similarly, enhanced data security is generally tied to robust management practices, which are hindered when CPMs are overly centralized or inadequately deployed.
