Question 20
A department needs a delegate to update selected group properties but not tenant-wide Conditional Access or role assignments. The initial implementation works. Which continuing control most directly prevents the same failure or drift from recurring?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Periodically inventory additive role assignments; assess the union of grants instead of reading the custom role alone. This reduces future drift after the initial control is deployed: create a custom Microsoft Entra role containing only supported required permissions and assign it at the narrowest supported scope. Recheck the actual behavior with: check the custom role's effective actions on an allowed group operation and attempt a prohibited role change.
Incorrect Answers
This control manages future delegated password reset by administrative unit drift, but it does not reduce the continuing exposure in the described custom role restricted administration case. The correct safeguard is: periodically inventory additive role assignments; assess the union of grants instead of reading the custom role alone.
This control manages future built-in role evaluation drift, but it does not reduce the continuing exposure in the described custom role restricted administration case. The correct safeguard is: periodically inventory additive role assignments; assess the union of grants instead of reading the custom role alone.
This control manages future role-assignable group protection drift, but it does not reduce the continuing exposure in the described custom role restricted administration case. The correct safeguard is: periodically inventory additive role assignments; assess the union of grants instead of reading the custom role alone.
