SC-900 Describe the capabilities of Microsoft Entra Practice Question
A company uses Microsoft Entra ID and has a critical application that is accessed by both employees and external partners. The security team wants to ensure that external partners can access the application using their own corporate credentials, but only after accepting a terms of use agreement. Which Microsoft Entra feature should they implement?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is thinking that Conditional Access alone can enable external partners to use their own credentials; it requires B2B collaboration to establish the external user identities.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Microsoft Entra B2B collaboration
Microsoft Entra B2B collaboration enables external partners to access internal applications using their own corporate credentials. It also supports terms of use, which can be enforced via Conditional Access to require acceptance before access. This combination meets the scenario's requirements for partner access with own credentials and terms of use acceptance.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Microsoft Entra B2B collaboration
Why this is correct
Microsoft Entra B2B collaboration allows external partners to access applications using their own credentials. It supports the configuration of a terms of use agreement that partners must accept before accessing the application. This satisfies both requirements: using own corporate credentials and accepting terms of use.
- ✗
Microsoft Entra B2C
Why it's wrong here
Microsoft Entra B2C is designed for customer-facing applications where users sign up with their own identities, such as social accounts or local accounts. It is not intended for business partners accessing internal applications. B2C does not provide the same governance and terms of use enforcement for partner access as B2B collaboration.
- ✗
Conditional Access
Why it's wrong here
Conditional Access can enforce terms of use acceptance for external users, but it does not by itself enable external partners to use their own corporate credentials. It is a policy engine that works with other identity features. Without B2B collaboration, partners would not have identities in the tenant to which Conditional Access could apply.
- ✗
Microsoft Entra ID Governance
Why it's wrong here
Microsoft Entra ID Governance provides features like access reviews and entitlement management, which can manage external access, but it relies on B2B collaboration to bring in external users. It does not directly allow partners to use their own credentials; that is the function of B2B collaboration. Governance adds lifecycle management on top.
