Your company has two Azure subscriptions named Dev-Sub and Prod-Sub. You need to ensure that a user can create resource groups only in Dev-Sub and nowhere else. What should you do?

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

Assign the Contributor role at the Dev-Sub subscription scope.

Contributor at the Dev-Sub scope allows resource group creation within that subscription only.

B

Distractor review

Assign the Owner role at the tenant root scope.

Tenant root scope is much broader than required and Owner is excessively permissive.

C

Distractor review

Assign the Reader role at the Dev-Sub subscription scope.

Reader does not allow creating resource groups.

D

Distractor review

Assign the Contributor role at the management group scope that contains both subscriptions.

That would also allow actions in Prod-Sub, which violates the requirement.

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

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 the Contributor role at the Dev-Sub subscription scope. — Azure RBAC assignments should be scoped as narrowly as possible. Assigning the appropriate role at the Dev-Sub subscription scope grants the required permissions only in that subscription. Assigning at the management group or tenant root would be too broad.
