MS-700 Configure and Manage a Teams Environment Practice Question
A company wants to implement a policy where only the 'Helpdesk' group can use the 'Walkie Talkie' app in Teams. You have created an App Setup Policy that includes the app. How should you assign this policy to ensure it only affects the members of the Helpdesk group with the least administrative effort?
⚠ Common exam trap
MS-700 often tests the difference between group policy assignment and manual assignment, and candidates may overlook that group policy assignment is the only method that automatically applies to future group members with minimal effort.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use the 'Group policy assignment' tab in the Teams admin center to assign the policy to the Helpdesk group.
Group policy assignment in the Teams admin center allows you to assign a policy directly to a security group or Microsoft 365 group, automatically applying it to all current and future members. This satisfies the requirement to affect only Helpdesk members with minimal administrative effort, as you don't need to manually manage individual users. The policy is enforced for all group members, and any changes to group membership are reflected automatically.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use the 'Assign policy to users' option and manually select every member of the group.
Why it's wrong here
Manually assigning policies to individual users is time-consuming and error-prone, especially in large organizations. It requires constant administrative maintenance as staff members join or leave the Helpdesk department, making it the least efficient method for managing policy distribution for a specific functional group.
- ✓
Use the 'Group policy assignment' tab in the Teams admin center to assign the policy to the Helpdesk group.
Why this is correct
Group policy assignment is the most efficient method because it links the policy directly to a Microsoft 365 group or security group. Teams automatically handles the assignment and removal of the policy based on group membership, significantly reducing the administrative workload and ensuring that policy application is always up to date.
- ✗
Edit the Global (Org-wide default) App Setup Policy to include the Walkie Talkie app.
Why it's wrong here
Modifying the Global policy would make the Walkie Talkie app available to every user in the entire organization. This violates the requirement to restrict the app's use specifically to the Helpdesk group and would lead to unnecessary app clutter for users who do not need the feature.
- ✗
Run a PowerShell script that loops through all users and grants the policy if they are in the group.
Why it's wrong here
While a PowerShell script can automate individual assignments, it is a static process that must be re-run every time the group membership changes. It is less efficient than the built-in Group policy assignment feature, which provides a native, dynamic way to manage policy distribution based on group membership.
