The answer is that access is allowed with a warning to update the app and OS. This occurs because the app protection policy version conditions define both a minimum requirement and a warning threshold; here, the device meets the minimum OS version of 9.0 and the minimum app version of 1.5.0, but the app version exactly matches the minimum, which is above the warning level of 1.4.0, while the OS version of 9.0 is also above the warning level of 8.0—so no warning is actually triggered, meaning access is granted without any prompt. On the MD-102 exam, this scenario tests your understanding of how Intune’s app protection policies evaluate version conditions hierarchically: the warning level is a softer boundary that only triggers when a device falls below it, not when it meets or exceeds the minimum. A common trap is confusing the warning level with the minimum, so remember: minimums block access, warnings only prompt updates. Memory tip: “Min blocks, warn talks—if you meet both, you walk.”

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Access is allowed with a warning to update the app and OS
The app protection policy in the exhibit sets the minimum OS version to 9.0 and the minimum app version to 1.5.0, with the warning level set to OS version 8.0 and app version 1.4.0. Since the device runs OS 9.0 (meeting the minimum) and app version 1.5.0 (meeting the minimum), but the OS version is below the warning level (9.0 is not below 8.0) and the app version is below the warning level (1.5.0 is not below 1.4.0), the device actually meets both minimum requirements. However, the question states the device is targeted by the policy, and the exhibit likely shows the warning level for OS is 8.0 and for app is 1.4.0, meaning the device's OS 9.0 is above the warning level, but the app version 1.5.0 is above the warning level as well. The correct interpretation is that the device meets minimum requirements, so access is allowed, but because the app version is exactly at the minimum (not below warning), no warning is triggered. Option B is correct because the device meets all minimums, so access is allowed without any warning.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
✗
Access is blocked because the OS version is below the warning level
Why it's wrong here
Warning levels do not block access.
✓
Access is allowed with a warning to update the app and OS
Why this is correct
The user meets minimum requirements but not warning levels, so a warning is shown.

✗
Access is allowed without any warning because minimum requirements are met
Why it's wrong here
Warning levels trigger a warning even if minimums are met.
✗
Access is blocked because the app version is below the warning level
Why it's wrong here
Warning levels do not block access; they show a warning.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates often confuse the 'warning level' with the 'minimum level', assuming that being below the warning level triggers a block rather than just a warning, or they misread the exhibit and think the device's versions are below the warning thresholds when they are actually above them.

Command / output trap
Warning levels do not block access; they show a warning.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
In Microsoft Intune app protection policies, the 'minimum' version setting blocks access if the version is below that threshold, while the 'warning' version setting displays a warning to the user but still allows access if the version is between the warning and minimum levels. The policy evaluates OS and app versions independently; if either is below the minimum, access is blocked. In this scenario, both OS 9.0 and app 1.5.0 meet the minimums, and since they are above the warning levels, no warning is triggered. A subtle behavior is that if the app version is exactly equal to the warning level, it is considered at the warning threshold and a warning is shown, but here 1.5.0 is above 1.4.0.

Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.

What is the correct answer to this question?
The correct answer is: Access is allowed with a warning to update the app and OS — The app protection policy in the exhibit sets the minimum OS version to 9.0 and the minimum app version to 1.5.0, with the warning level set to OS version 8.0 and app version 1.4.0. Since the device runs OS 9.0 (meeting the minimum) and app version 1.5.0 (meeting the minimum), but the OS version is below the warning level (9.0 is not below 8.0) and the app version is below the warning level (1.5.0 is not below 1.4.0), the device actually meets both minimum requirements. However, the question states the device is targeted by the policy, and the exhibit likely shows the warning level for OS is 8.0 and for app is 1.4.0, meaning the device's OS 9.0 is above the warning level, but the app version 1.5.0 is above the warning level as well. The correct interpretation is that the device meets minimum requirements, so access is allowed, but because the app version is exactly at the minimum (not below warning), no warning is triggered. Option B is correct because the device meets all minimums, so access is allowed without any warning.
