Which of the following statements is true regarding the differences between .psrc files and .pssc files?

• A. Only the .psrc file can specify external modules
• B. The .pssc file references the .psrc file
• C. The .psrc file is used to register a JEA endpoint
• D. Both files can contain user credentials

Answer: (B)

The statement that the .pssc file references the .psrc file is accurate because .pssc (PowerShell Session Configuration) files are designed to define a session configuration for PowerShell, including which .psrc (PowerShell role capability) files are utilized. The .psrc files themselves define the roles capabilities that describe permissions and access levels for users.

When a session configuration is created, it can specify which role capabilities to include by referencing .psrc files, thereby establishing the permissions associated with that session. This relationship is fundamental, as the .psrc file contains specific role definitions that the session configuration will leverage to manage user permissions effectively.

In this context, the other options do not hold true. While .psrc files can specify external modules and are indeed meant for defining roles, they do not register JEA (Just Enough Administration) endpoints directly; rather, that is the role of the .pssc files. Additionally, credential management is not a function tied to either file type as both are related to defining and managing role capabilities and session configurations rather than handling user credentials directly.
