Question 560
An administrator assumes an administrative unit limits every Entra Global Administrator operation to only that unit. The team believes no other action is necessary. Why is the current tenant configuration inadequate for this requirement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The actual failure mechanism is Administrative units do not automatically narrow all highly privileged tenant-wide role assignments. Its relevance follows from the stated tenant facts, not just a generic security recommendation. Correct it by review administrative-unit-scoped role support and avoid assigning tenant-wide privileged roles for scoped tasks. Then verify: An assigned scoped operator is constrained to intended users while Global Admin remains separately governed.
