Question 440
A security team wants database administrators to gain an Entra privileged directory role only during a justified work window. Which proposed configuration or implementation directly meets the stated requirement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Use PIM to create eligible rather than permanently active Microsoft Entra role assignments, with the required activation settings. The solution acts at the intended identity, policy or application scope. A successful result is testable: confirm an eligible user lacks the role before activation and gains it only for the approved bounded session. The competing configuration error is: the role assignment is permanently active rather than eligible through PIM.
Incorrect Answers
That action implements the separate eligible role assignment role permissions decision. It is appropriate when a developer wants to make another person eligible for Global Administrator but currently only holds a low-privilege directory reader role. The present case instead requires the specific eligible versus permanent admin role change: use PIM to create eligible rather than permanently active Microsoft Entra role assignments, with the required activation settings.
That action implements the separate pim activation approval decision. It is appropriate when privileged Role Administrator activation must be approved by designated security approvers rather than activating immediately on user request. The present case instead requires the specific eligible versus permanent admin role change: use PIM to create eligible rather than permanently active Microsoft Entra role assignments, with the required activation settings.
That action implements the separate pim activation notifications decision. It is appropriate when security wants to know whenever a highly privileged role is activated, including unexpected after-hours use. The present case instead requires the specific eligible versus permanent admin role change: use PIM to create eligible rather than permanently active Microsoft Entra role assignments, with the required activation settings.
