Full question →hardmultiple choiceObjective-mapped
A company has a partner organization in another Azure AD tenant. They want to allow users from the partner tenant to access their Azure resources through Azure AD B2B collaboration. They also want the partner's Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) claims to be trusted when partner users access their resources, so that they do not need to perform MFA again. Which configuration in cross-tenant access settings should they enable?
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
Trust multi-factor authentication from the partner tenant (inbound trust).
This setting accepts MFA claims from the partner tenant, avoiding redundant MFA prompts.
B
Distractor review
Trust device compliance from the partner tenant.
Device compliance trust is for device-based conditional access, not MFA claims.
C
Distractor review
Enable a Conditional Access policy that grants access to the partner tenant.
Conditional Access policies apply to users in your tenant, not directly to external MFA trust.
D
Distractor review
Configure identity synchronization with the partner tenant.
Identity synchronization is used for B2B direct connect, not for trusting MFA claims.
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: Trust multi-factor authentication from the partner tenant (inbound trust). — In cross-tenant access settings, you can configure inbound trust settings to accept MFA claims from the partner tenant. This allows partner users who have already satisfied MFA in their home tenant to access resources without being prompted again. Device compliance trust and identity synchronization are separate settings. Conditional Access policies are per-tenant and do not directly trust external MFA.
