The correct answer is that a new application registration is created with requested permissions to Microsoft Graph. This is because the Azure CLI command `az ad app create` with the `--required-resource-accesses` parameter specifies the Microsoft Graph resource app ID `00000003-0000-0000-c000-000000000000` and the permission ID `e1fe6dd8-ba31-4d61-89e7-88639da4923c`, which maps to the `User.Read` delegated scope. The command registers the app in Microsoft Entra ID and pre-configures the requested Graph permissions, but it does not grant admin consent or set the sign-in audience. On the MS-102 exam, this tests your ability to distinguish between registering an app with permissions and actually consenting to them—a common trap where candidates assume admin consent is automatically granted. Remember the key distinction: registration requests permissions, but consent is a separate step. A useful memory tip is "Register requests, Consent grants."
MS-102 Practice Question: Implement and manage Microsoft Entra identity and access
This MS-102 practice question tests your understanding of implement and manage microsoft entra identity and access. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
A new application registration is created with requested permissions to Graph
The Azure CLI command `az ad app create --display-name 'MyApp' --required-resource-accesses '[{"resourceAppId":"00000003-0000-0000-c000-000000000000","resourceAccess":[{"id":"e1fe6dd8-ba31-4d61-89e7-88639da4923c","type":"Scope"}]}]'` creates a new application registration in Microsoft Entra ID. The `--required-resource-accesses` parameter specifies the Microsoft Graph (resourceAppId `00000003-0000-0000-c000-000000000000`) and the permission with ID `e1fe6dd8-ba31-4d61-89e7-88639da4923c` (which corresponds to the `User.Read` delegated permission). This registers the app with requested permissions to Microsoft Graph, but does not grant admin consent or configure sign-in audience.
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.
✓
A new application registration is created with requested permissions to Graph
Why this is correct
The command creates a new app with required resource accesses to Graph.
Related concept
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
✗
An existing application registration is updated
Why it's wrong here
The command uses 'create', not 'update'.
✗
The application is configured with single-tenant sign-in audience
Why it's wrong here
The sign-in audience is AzureADMultipleOrgs, which is multi-tenant.
✗
An admin consent is granted for the Microsoft Graph permissions
Why it's wrong here
The command only specifies required accesses; admin consent is not granted.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates confuse requesting permissions (which happens during app registration) with granting admin consent (a separate administrative action), leading them to incorrectly select Option D.
Trap categories for this question
Command / output trap
The command uses 'create', not 'update'.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
The `--required-resource-accesses` parameter uses a JSON array that maps to the `requiredResourceAccess` property of the application object. The `resourceAppId` `00000003-0000-0000-c000-000000000000` is the well-known identifier for Microsoft Graph, and the permission ID `e1fe6dd8-ba31-4d61-89e7-88639da4923c` is the `User.Read` delegated permission (Scope type). Under the hood, this populates the `requiredResourceAccess` collection, which is used during the OAuth 2.0 authorization flow to request consent from users or admins, but consent is not granted at creation time.

TExam Day Tips
→Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
→Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
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: A new application registration is created with requested permissions to Graph — The Azure CLI command `az ad app create --display-name 'MyApp' --required-resource-accesses '[{"resourceAppId":"00000003-0000-0000-c000-000000000000","resourceAccess":[{"id":"e1fe6dd8-ba31-4d61-89e7-88639da4923c","type":"Scope"}]}]'` creates a new application registration in Microsoft Entra ID. The `--required-resource-accesses` parameter specifies the Microsoft Graph (resourceAppId `00000003-0000-0000-c000-000000000000`) and the permission with ID `e1fe6dd8-ba31-4d61-89e7-88639da4923c` (which corresponds to the `User.Read` delegated permission). This registers the app with requested permissions to Microsoft Graph, but does not grant admin consent or configure sign-in audience.
