AI-102 Practice Question: Implement knowledge mining and information extraction solutions

Your knowledge mining solution ingests documents from multiple tenants. Each tenant's data must be isolated and searchable only by that tenant. You have a single Azure AI Search service. How should you implement multi-tenancy?

⚠ Common exam trap

Test-takers frequently confuse data sources (which are just ingestion pipelines) with data partitioning, leading them to think separate data sources or skillsets provide isolation, when in fact only query-time filtering or separate indexes enforce tenant boundaries.

Correct answer & explanation

Use a single index with a tenant ID field and filter queries by that field

Azure AI Search supports multi-tenancy within a single service by using a shared index with a tenant ID field. Each document is tagged with a tenant identifier, and queries are scoped using OData `$filter` expressions (e.g., `$filter=tenantId eq 'tenant123'`). This ensures data isolation while keeping costs low and management simple, as only one search service and one index are needed.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Use separate skillsets for each tenant

    Why it's wrong here

    Skillsets do not provide data isolation.

  • Create a separate search service for each tenant

    Why it's wrong here

    Expensive and hard to manage.

  • Use a single index with a tenant ID field and filter queries by that field

    Why this is correct

    Index-level security with filters is the recommended approach.

  • Use separate data sources within the same index

    Why it's wrong here

    Data sources do not enforce tenant isolation.
