MB-920 Practice Question: Describe the core capabilities of the finance and operations apps
A company uses Dynamics 365 Human Resources to manage employee information. They need to ensure that only authorized HR staff can view sensitive personal data. Which feature should they configure?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse audit logging (a detective control) with a preventive security measure, but audit logging only records events after they occur and does not block unauthorized access.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Role-based security
Role-based security (option C) is the correct feature because Dynamics 365 Human Resources uses role-based security to control access to sensitive personal data. By assigning HR staff to specific security roles (e.g., HR Manager, HR Assistant), administrators can grant or deny permissions to view, edit, or delete sensitive fields like Social Security numbers or bank account details. This ensures that only authorized users with the appropriate role can access protected data, aligning with data privacy requirements.
