1

Your company has an Azure subscription named Prod-Sub. You create a custom role that allows users to restart virtual machines but not create, delete, or resize them. You need to ensure that members of the VMOperators group can use this custom role only for virtual machines in the RG-Prod resource group. What should you do?

2

Your organization assigns an Azure Policy at the Corp-MG management group to require the tag Environment on all newly created resources. A deployment to RG-App in the Prod-Sub subscription fails because the tag is missing. You need to allow this single deployment to proceed without weakening enforcement for the rest of the organization. What should you do?

3

A help desk team must be able to reset passwords for cloud users in Microsoft Entra ID, but they must not be able to create or delete users. Which built-in role should you assign?

4

You need to assign the same RBAC role to 15 administrators so they can manage backups for several virtual machines. You want to minimize ongoing administrative effort when membership changes. What should you use?
