MS-900 Practice Question: Describe security, compliance, privacy, and trust in Microsoft 365
This MS-900 practice question tests your understanding of describe security, compliance, privacy, and trust in microsoft 365. 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.
A security administrator needs to ensure that all guest users who access Microsoft Teams are required to accept a terms of use agreement before accessing any company resources. Which Microsoft 365 identity protection feature should they configure?
Why wrong: Session controls in Conditional Access manage user sessions but do not include a built-in terms-of-use acceptance mechanism.
B
Microsoft Entra ID Identity Protection
Why wrong: Identity Protection detects and remediates identity-based risks but does not enforce terms of use.
C
Terms of Use in Microsoft Entra ID
Microsoft Entra ID Terms of Use allows you to create and enforce agreements that users must accept before accessing applications, including Microsoft Teams for guest users.
D
Privileged Identity Management
Why wrong: PIM manages just-in-time access for privileged roles and does not provide a general terms-of-use acceptance workflow.
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Terms of Use in Microsoft Entra ID
Option C is correct because Microsoft Entra ID Terms of Use is the specific feature designed to present a terms-of-use agreement to users before they can access resources. When combined with a Conditional Access policy that targets guest users and requires acceptance of the terms, it ensures that guests must accept the agreement before accessing Microsoft Teams or any other company resource.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is confusing the general concept of 'Conditional Access' (which is the policy engine) with the specific grant control 'Terms of Use' that must be configured within it, leading candidates to pick Option A instead of C.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Under the hood, Microsoft Entra ID Terms of Use stores the agreement as a PDF and uses a Conditional Access grant control ("Require terms of use") to block access until the user accepts. The acceptance is recorded as a consent event in the user's sign-in logs, and the policy can be scoped to specific user groups (e.g., guest users) or applications. A real-world scenario is a B2B collaboration where external partners must sign a data-handling agreement before accessing Teams channels.

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.
