This AI-102 practice question tests your understanding of plan and manage an azure ai solution. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
You need to provide a business analyst with access to create and manage Azure AI Language projects without granting them full subscription-level permissions. What role should you assign?
Cognitive Services Language Owner at the resource level
Grants full management of Language projects within the resource.
Reader at the resource group level
Why wrong: Read-only, cannot create or manage projects.
Contributor at the subscription level
Why wrong: Too broad; grants access to all resources.
Cognitive Services User at the resource level
Why wrong: Allows API calls but not project management.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Cognitive Services Language Owner at the resource level
The Cognitive Services Language Owner role at the resource level grants full permissions to create, read, update, and delete Azure AI Language projects and resources, including managing custom models and deployments, without granting any permissions outside that specific resource. This is the least-privilege role that satisfies the business analyst's need to manage Language projects while avoiding subscription-level access.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
Cognitive Services Language Owner at the resource level
Why this is correct
Grants full management of Language projects within the resource.

Reader at the resource group level
Why it's wrong here
Read-only, cannot create or manage projects.
Contributor at the subscription level
Why it's wrong here
Too broad; grants access to all resources.
Cognitive Services User at the resource level
Why it's wrong here
Allows API calls but not project management.
Common exam traps
The trap here is that candidates often confuse the Cognitive Services User role (which only allows consumption of the service) with the Language Owner role, mistakenly thinking 'User' implies management capabilities, or they default to a broad Contributor role without considering resource-level scoping.
Detailed technical explanation
Azure AI Language projects rely on Azure RBAC roles scoped to the Cognitive Services resource. The Cognitive Services Language Owner role is a built-in role that includes actions like Microsoft.CognitiveServices/accounts/language/projects/write and Microsoft.CognitiveServices/accounts/language/deployments/write, enabling full project lifecycle management. In contrast, the Cognitive Services User role only includes read and use actions (e.g., Microsoft.CognitiveServices/accounts/language/analyze-text/action), which is insufficient for project creation. This granularity allows organizations to delegate project management to analysts without exposing other services or subscription-level controls.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
