A platform team wants every current and future subscription under the company's Azure hierarchy to inherit Reader access for a central audit group. The team does not want to create separate assignments for each subscription. Where should the role be assigned?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Best answer

At the management group that contains the subscriptions.

Management group scope is designed for governance that must apply across multiple subscriptions, including subscriptions added later under the same hierarchy. A role assignment at that level is inherited by child subscriptions and their resources, which is ideal for broad read-only audit access.

B

Distractor review

At one subscription and rely on inheritance to reach the others.

RBAC inheritance does not cross from one subscription to unrelated subscriptions. Assigning at one subscription would not reach the others.

C

Distractor review

At a resource group in a single subscription.

A resource group assignment is limited to that group and its children. It cannot cover every subscription in the organization.

D

Distractor review

At an individual resource that the audit team will inspect.

A resource-level assignment is far too narrow for an organization-wide audit requirement and would not scale to future subscriptions.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: OSPF can fail even when IP connectivity looks correct

OSPF neighbour formation depends on matching areas, timers, network type, authentication and passive-interface behaviour. Do not choose an answer only because the devices can ping.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

OSPF questions usually test the details that control adjacency and route selection. Read the neighbour state, area, router ID and interface configuration before deciding what is wrong.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • OSPF neighbours must agree on key parameters.
  • Router ID selection can affect neighbour relationships and LSDB output.
  • OSPF cost influences the preferred path.
  • A route can appear in OSPF information but not become the installed route.

TExam Day Tips

  • Check area mismatch first when OSPF adjacency fails.
  • Review passive interfaces when a network is advertised but no neighbour forms.
  • Use show ip ospf neighbor and show ip route clues carefully.

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this AZ-104 question test?

OSPF neighbours must agree on key parameters.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: At the management group that contains the subscriptions. — Management group scope is the correct choice when access must apply consistently across multiple subscriptions, including subscriptions created later in the same hierarchy. Because RBAC inheritance flows downward from management group to subscription to resource group to resource, one assignment can satisfy the enterprise-wide audit requirement without repetitive configuration. This is a common governance pattern in Azure administration. Why others are wrong: A single subscription cannot extend permissions to other subscriptions. A resource group or resource scope is even narrower and only affects that local area. The requirement explicitly calls for organization-wide coverage and future inheritance, which only management group scope provides.
