IRAs cannot be enabled for margin trading, which prevents you from using certain options strategies. For example, if you sell short puts, they must be completely cash-secured. Otherwise this strategy is not permitted in an IRA. Short put positions have a limited profit potential with a substantial amount of risk.
This can be especially useful if the IRA owns a more illiquid asset (e.g. real estate or private stock) and the account owner needs to take a distribution due to the Required Minimum Distribution rules. The fair market value of the asset is used to calculate the equivalent dollar value of the distribution.
