CV0-004 Practice Question: A company uses a cloud provider's identity…

After a merger, employees from the acquired company need access. What must be modified to enable federated access for the new users without disrupting existing access?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Update the trust policy to include the new Active Directory domain.
Updating the trust policy to include the new Active Directory domain allows federation from both the original and acquired domains under the same identity provider, enabling access for new users without disrupting existing access. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they would either require separate management, create unnecessary overhead, or disrupt the existing federation setup.
