A company has a subscription with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). They want to enable a conditional access policy that requires all users to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) when accessing the Azure portal. The policy should only apply to users who are members of a group called 'AllUsers'. Which assignment should they configure in the policy?
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.
Distractor review
Assign the 'AllUsers' group to the 'Cloud apps' section and select 'Azure portal' as the application
Users are assigned in the 'Users' section, not 'Cloud apps'. The 'Azure portal' is a cloud app, not a user group.
Best answer
Assign the 'AllUsers' group to the 'Users' section and select 'Azure portal' as the cloud app
Correct. The policy targets users in the group and applies when accessing the Azure portal cloud app.
Distractor review
Add a condition for 'Client apps' specifying 'Browser' only
This would limit the policy to browser access, but the main requirement is to target the group and the Azure portal; the condition is not the primary assignment.
Distractor review
Create two policies: one for users and one for the Azure portal
A single Conditional Access policy can include both user and app assignments. Two policies are not needed and could cause conflicts.
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.
