Full question →easymultiple choiceObjective-mapped
Exhibit
Management group hierarchy: Corp ├─ Sub-Prod-01 │ └─ RG-Finance └─ Sub-Prod-02 └─ RG-Shared Current role assignment: - Reader assigned to Entra ID group Auditors at scope: /providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups/Corp Requirement: - Members of Auditors must read resources in any new subscription added under Corp without adding another assignment.
Based on the exhibit, a compliance team must read all current and future resources in every subscription under the Corp management group. Where should you assign the Reader role?
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
Distractor review
Assign Reader at the RG-Finance resource group scope.
This only grants access to one resource group and does not cover other subscriptions under Corp.
B
Best answer
Assign Reader at the Corp management group scope.
This scope covers all subscriptions currently under Corp and any subscriptions added later beneath that management group.
C
Distractor review
Assign Reader separately at each subscription scope.
This works for current subscriptions but requires extra assignments whenever a new subscription appears.
D
Distractor review
Assign Reader only at the individual resource scope.
This would be far too narrow and would not provide access to the rest of the environment.
Common exam trap
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Technical deep dive
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
- Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
- Underline the problem statement mentally.
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.

FAQ
Questions learners often ask
What does this AZ-104 question test?
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
What is the correct answer to this question?
The correct answer is: Assign Reader at the Corp management group scope. — Azure RBAC assignments inherit from higher scopes to lower scopes. If the requirement is to grant read access across every current and future subscription under a management group, the management group is the correct place to assign the role. That avoids repeated work and ensures inheritance applies automatically to all child subscriptions, resource groups, and resources beneath Corp. Why others are wrong: A is limited to one resource group and misses the rest of the management group. C would work, but it is not the best administrative choice because every new subscription would need another assignment. D is far too narrow and would require many separate assignments, which defeats centralized governance.
