Question 380
Users click rewritten URLs in Outlook, but the tenant's Safe Links policy excludes a relevant recipient group. The team believes no other action is necessary. Which misconception most directly led to the observed problem?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The actual failure mechanism is Safe Links cannot protect users omitted by its effective policy coverage. Its relevance follows from the stated tenant facts, not just a generic security recommendation. Correct it by correct Safe Links coverage and supported user or group policy scoping. Then verify: A permitted simulated malicious URL produces the required time-of-click protection result.
