A company uses Azure AD B2B collaboration to invite external partner users. The security policy requires that guest users who have not signed in for more than 90 days should have their access automatically reviewed and, if not approved, removed. The company has Azure AD Premium P2 licenses. Which Azure AD feature should they configure to meet this requirement?
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
Enable automatic user deletion in the Azure AD B2B collaboration settings.
There is no such setting to automatically delete guest users based on inactivity. B2B settings only control invitation and redemption behavior.
B
Distractor review
Create a Conditional Access policy that blocks sign-ins for guest users who haven't authenticated in 90 days.
Conditional Access policies evaluate sign-in risk or conditions at the time of authentication. They cannot retroactively remove access for users who have already been inactive; they only prevent future sign-ins but do not remove the user from applications.
C
Best answer
Configure an Azure AD Access Review that reviews guest user access and automatically removes access after 90 days of inactivity.
Access Reviews can be configured to run periodically (e.g., quarterly) and include only guest users. The review can be set to automatically remove users who do not respond or who are not approved, effectively removing access for inactive guests.
D
Distractor review
Use Azure AD Identity Protection to detect guest user sign-in anomalies and revoke sessions.
Identity Protection focuses on risk detection (e.g., leaked credentials, impossible travel) but does not schedule reviews based on inactivity. Access Reviews are the appropriate governance tool.
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-500 question test?
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
What is the correct answer to this question?
The correct answer is: Configure an Azure AD Access Review that reviews guest user access and automatically removes access after 90 days of inactivity. — Azure AD Access Reviews allow administrators to automatically review the access of users to groups, applications, and roles. For external users, you can create an access review that includes only guest users and set it to recur every 90 days. The review can automatically remove access if the reviewers do not respond or approve. This meets the requirement without manual management.
