Answer: B

Explanation:

Access to the GraphQL IDE for exploring and managing Sitecore content via the Authoring and Management API requires a developer to have the sitecoreSitecore Client Users role. This role grants the necessary permissions to use the IDE for various operations, not just read-only access.

Reference: The Sitecore XM Cloud documentation specifies the role requirements for using the GraphQL IDE1. It also provides guidance on setting up and authoring content with the GraphQL playgrounds, which are part of the IDE2.
