An enterprise wants just-in-time elevation for Azure administrators and periodic validation that privileged users still require access. Which two Microsoft Entra features should you recommend? (Choose 2.)
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
Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management.
PIM supports eligible assignments, approvals, MFA, and time-bound activation.
B
Best answer
Microsoft Entra access reviews.
Access reviews allow periodic recertification of access.
C
Distractor review
Microsoft Entra Domain Services.
Domain Services provides managed domain services for legacy workloads, not JIT Azure role elevation.
D
Distractor review
Azure Policy guest configuration.
Guest configuration audits VM settings, not administrator role lifecycle.
Common exam trap
Common exam trap: authentication is not authorization
Logging in proves the user can authenticate. It does not automatically mean the user is allowed to enter privileged or configuration mode. Watch for AAA authorization, privilege level and command authorization details.
Technical deep dive
How to think about this question
This kind of question is testing the difference between identity and permission. A user may successfully log in to a router because authentication is working, but still fail to enter configuration mode because authorization is missing, misconfigured or mapped to a lower privilege level.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Authentication checks who the user is.
- Authorization controls what the user is allowed to do after login.
- Privilege levels affect access to EXEC and configuration commands.
- AAA, TACACS+ and RADIUS can separate login success from command access.
TExam Day Tips
- Do not assume successful login means full administrative access.
- Look for words such as cannot enter configuration mode, privilege level, authorization or command access.
- Separate login problems from permission problems before choosing the answer.
