PL-900 Power Pages identity providers Practice Question
A marketing team wants to create a Power Pages site to allow external users to register for events. They need users to be able to sign in with their social media accounts. Which identity provider should they configure in Power Pages?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often assume social providers like Facebook are directly configurable in Power Pages, but Power Pages requires Azure AD B2C to enable them.
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
✓
Azure Active Directory B2C
Power Pages relies on Azure AD B2C to enable social identity providers like Facebook and Google. Configuring Azure AD B2C allows external users to sign in with social media accounts. Option C (Facebook or Google) is not directly configurable in Power Pages; instead, these providers are integrated through Azure AD B2C. Option A (Microsoft Entra ID) is for enterprise identities, not social sign-up. Option B (Windows Server Active Directory) is an on-premises directory, unsuitable for external social logins.
