Correct answer & explanation
✓
Least privilege
The principle of least privilege is the most relevant concept for guiding assignment of Microsoft 365 admin roles. It dictates that users should be granted only the minimum permissions necessary to perform their job functions, which directly applies to assigning admin roles to reduce security risks. This is a core security and identity concept within Microsoft 365, not a specific application or service.
