Question 190
A tenant has conflicting Conditional Access policies and administrators assume the most recently created policy always overrides others. The change owner plans to: Evaluate combined applicable Conditional Access grant and session controls using report-only or What If tools. Which additional safeguard is most specific to this implementation?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The specific rollout control is Review exclusions and block policies carefully before turning on enforcement. It protects the proposed intervention 'Evaluate combined applicable Conditional Access grant and session controls using report-only or What If tools.' against the failure mode that conditional Access evaluates applicable policies together, not a universal last-writer override. Success should also be checked through: A pilot sign-in displays the expected combined policy result for its user, app and device context.
