Question 320
An operational review checks whether the change “Use a dedicated service principal or managed identity, grant narrowly scoped resource RBAC, and acquire a token for the resource” meets this need: An application must call an Azure resource using short-lived tokens while following least privilege and avoiding shared administrator credentials. Which finding supports acceptance?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Correct acceptance check. The workload reaches only its approved target and authentication logs identify the application principal. This tests the intended access or synchronization boundary instead of merely checking that a setting exists.
Incorrect Answers
Even if enabling a Function system-assigned managed identity succeeds, this does not prove the required identity-control outcome. The decisive check is: The workload reaches only its approved target and authentication logs identify the application principal.
Even if granting narrowly scoped Microsoft Graph application permissions through the application registration succeeds, this does not prove the required identity-control outcome. The decisive check is: The workload reaches only its approved target and authentication logs identify the application principal.
Even if inspecting resource access logs succeeds, this does not prove the required identity-control outcome. The decisive check is: The workload reaches only its approved target and authentication logs identify the application principal.
