MS-700 Configure and Manage a Teams Environment Practice Question
You want to implement Conditional Access policies to secure Microsoft Teams access. Which THREE components are essential when defining a Conditional Access policy in Microsoft Entra ID for Teams? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution.)
⚠ Common exam trap
MS-700 often tests the misconception that Teams admin center settings (messaging policies, voice routes) are part of Conditional Access, when in fact Conditional Access is exclusively an Microsoft Entra ID identity construct built from Assignments, Cloud apps, and Access controls.
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
✓
Assignments (Users and Groups)
Option A (Assignments - Users and Groups) is correct because every Conditional Access policy must specify the target users or groups to whom the policy applies, which is the 'Assignments' section's user scope in Microsoft Entra ID. Option B (Cloud apps - Microsoft Teams) is correct because a Conditional Access policy must designate the target cloud application, and selecting Microsoft Teams as the cloud app scopes the policy specifically to Teams access. Option C (Grant controls - e.g., Require MFA) is correct because grant controls define what must be satisfied to gain access, such as requiring multi-factor authentication, compliant device, or hybrid Microsoft Entra ID joined device, which enforces the actual access condition. Option D (Teams Messaging policy settings) is incorrect because messaging policies are configured in the Microsoft Teams admin center to control chat and channel features, not in Microsoft Entra Conditional Access. Option E (A Skype for Business Voice route) is incorrect because voice routes are telephony configuration components in Skype for Business Online/Teams Phone, unrelated to Conditional Access policy definition.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Assignments (Users and Groups)
Why this is correct
The 'Assignments' section of a Conditional Access policy defines who the policy applies to. Without specifying users or groups, the policy cannot be enforced, as it needs to know which identities are subject to the security requirements and conditions you are establishing for Teams access.
- ✓
Cloud apps (Microsoft Teams)
Why this is correct
A Conditional Access policy must be scoped to specific applications. Selecting 'Microsoft Teams' ensures that the security requirements, such as MFA or device compliance, are triggered specifically when a user attempts to access Teams services, rather than applying globally to every service in the tenant.
- ✓
Grant controls (e.g., Require MFA)
Why this is correct
Grant controls define the requirements that must be met for access to be permitted. Requiring multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a common grant control that ensures the user's identity is verified through multiple methods before they can access sensitive organizational data within the Microsoft Teams client.
- ✗
Teams Messaging policy settings
Why it's wrong here
Messaging policies are managed within the Teams Admin Center and control the features of the chat interface. They are not a component of Microsoft Entra Conditional Access policies, which focus on the security and authentication layer of access rather than the functional features of the application.
- ✗
A Skype for Business Voice route
Why it's wrong here
Voice routes are used to manage how PSTN calls are directed through gateways and are a part of the phone system infrastructure. They have no relevance to the identity-based security policies and access controls managed by Microsoft Entra ID's Conditional Access feature for cloud applications.
