A company uses Azure AD B2B collaboration to invite external vendors. They want to restrict the vendors to only be able to access a specific application, and prevent them from discovering other users or applications in the directory. Which configuration should they apply to the external users?
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
Configure a Conditional Access policy targeting guest users
Conditional Access policies control sign-in conditions and session controls (e.g., MFA), but do not limit directory discovery or application visibility.
B
Distractor review
Enable 'External Identities' cross-tenant access settings
Cross-tenant access settings control inbound/outbound trust for B2B collaboration, not individual guest user permissions to view directory objects.
C
Best answer
Set the 'Guest user access' level to 'Guest user access is limited to properties and memberships of directory objects'
This setting restricts guest users from browsing the directory, preventing them from seeing other users or applications beyond those they have access to.
D
Distractor review
Assign the Application User role to the vendor users
The Application User role is not a built-in role; app roles are used for authorization within an application, not for limiting directory visibility.
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: Set the 'Guest user access' level to 'Guest user access is limited to properties and memberships of directory objects' — By default, guest users in Azure AD have limited access to directory information. To prevent guests from enumerating the directory, you can set the 'Guest user access' level to 'Guest user access is limited to properties and memberships of directory objects' (or the more restrictive 'Guest user access is restricted'). This prevents them from seeing other users or applications beyond what they are explicitly granted access to. Application access is controlled via app assignments.
