MS-700 Configure and Manage a Teams Environment Practice Question
You are trying to implement a policy that forces all Teams members to use a specific set of pinned apps. Which policy configuration is required?
⚠ Common exam trap
MS-700 often tests the difference between App Setup and App Permission policies; candidates might confuse pinning apps with allowing apps.
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
✓
Modify the App Setup policy
The App Setup policy in Teams allows administrators to pin apps to the app bar for users, ensuring they have quick access to specific apps. By modifying the App Setup policy, you can define a set of pinned apps that will be applied to all users assigned that policy. This is the correct policy type for controlling pinned apps.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Modify the Messaging policy
Why it's wrong here
Messaging policies are focused on the content of conversations and chat interactions. They do not have any control over the Teams application navigation or the pinning of apps on the user interface. Therefore, this policy type is incapable of enforcing a specific layout of pinned applications.
- ✗
Modify the App Permission policy
Why it's wrong here
App permission policies allow you to choose which apps are available to the user, but they do not control the pinning or the sidebar layout. While these policies are essential for security, they do not dictate the user experience of pinned apps on the navigation bar.
- ✓
Modify the App Setup policy
Why this is correct
The App Setup policy is specifically designed to manage the look and feel of the Teams client, including the ability to pin specific apps to the sidebar. By creating a custom setup policy, you can dictate exactly which apps appear for the users assigned to that policy.
- ✗
Modify the Teams global org-wide settings
Why it's wrong here
Global org-wide settings manage general platform behavior and defaults. While they impact all users, they do not provide the granularity to enforce a specific set of pinned apps for different user groups, which is a requirement that is best handled by creating and assigning individual App Setup policies.
