MS-900 Practice Question: A help desk lead is documenting the correct…
A help desk lead is documenting the correct Microsoft 365 approach to view usage reports without changing configuration. Microsoft 365 licensing, admin, or support concept is most relevant?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse the Reports Reader role with other Microsoft 365 services (like Stream or Forms) that have 'reporting' features in their own context, but only the Reports Reader role provides tenant-wide usage report access without configuration changes.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Reports Reader
The Reports Reader role in Microsoft 365 is specifically designed to allow users to view usage reports and adoption metrics without requiring any administrative permissions or configuration changes. This role provides read-only access to the Reports section in the Microsoft 365 admin center, enabling help desk leads to monitor usage data without altering settings or licensing. The other options (Whiteboard, Stream, Forms) are unrelated to viewing usage reports.
