Question 10
The security architect is given this constraint: A tenant has users with multiple built-in Microsoft Entra roles; an auditor needs the combined effective privileges rather than the label of a single role. Which technical approach meets it without relying on unrelated controls?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Correct implementation. Inspect the principal's direct and group-based role assignments, activation state, and applicable scope to evaluate effective permissions. It meets the stated requirement: A tenant has users with multiple built-in Microsoft Entra roles; an auditor needs the combined effective privileges rather than the label of a single role. Acceptance evidence is: A permission test aligns with all active scoped role assignments rather than a single role name.
Incorrect Answers
The custom role includes an application credential-write action alongside read actions. That condition is not the problem here: An inherited or activated role assignment is excluded from the permissions review. The targeted implementation is: Inspect the principal's direct and group-based role assignments, activation state, and applicable scope to evaluate effective permissions.
The delegated role was scoped to only one of the two required administrative units. That condition is not the problem here: An inherited or activated role assignment is excluded from the permissions review. The targeted implementation is: Inspect the principal's direct and group-based role assignments, activation state, and applicable scope to evaluate effective permissions.
The target account itself is not an administrative unit member; adding only its group does not grant user-management rights to each group member. That condition is not the problem here: An inherited or activated role assignment is excluded from the permissions review. The targeted implementation is: Inspect the principal's direct and group-based role assignments, activation state, and applicable scope to evaluate effective permissions.
