- A
Select 'Require device to be marked as compliant' and 'Require terms of use' and choose 'Require one of the selected controls'
Why wrong: Requiring one of the selected controls would allow access if the device is compliant OR terms of use are accepted, but the policy needs both conditions to be met.
- B
Select 'Require multi-factor authentication' and 'Require terms of use' and choose 'Require all the selected controls'
Why wrong: Multi-factor authentication is not a requirement in the scenario. The policy needs device compliance and terms of use, not MFA.
- C
Select 'Require device to be marked as compliant' and 'Require terms of use' and choose 'Require all the selected controls'
This correctly enforces both device compliance and terms of use acceptance because the 'Require all' setting ensures that both grant controls are satisfied.
- D
Select only 'Require terms of use' and configure device compliance as a condition
Why wrong: Terms of use alone does not enforce device compliance. Device compliance must be added as a grant control to be enforced, not as a condition. Conditions are different from grant controls.
Conditional Access: Require All Selected Grant Controls
This SC-900 practice question tests your understanding of describe the capabilities of microsoft entra. 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 company uses Microsoft Entra ID and Intune for device management. The security team wants to create a Conditional Access policy for a sensitive research application. They require that: 1) The user must use a device that is marked as compliant by Intune, and 2) The user must accept the company's terms of use before accessing the app. Which grant control combination should they configure in the policy?
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
Select 'Require device to be marked as compliant' and 'Require terms of use' and choose 'Require all the selected controls'
Option C is correct because the policy requires both conditions—device compliance and terms of use—to be enforced simultaneously. In Microsoft Entra Conditional Access, when multiple grant controls are selected and set to 'Require all the selected controls', the user must satisfy every control to gain access. This matches the security team's requirement that the device must be compliant AND the terms of use must be accepted.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Select 'Require device to be marked as compliant' and 'Require terms of use' and choose 'Require one of the selected controls'
Why it's wrong here
Requiring one of the selected controls would allow access if the device is compliant OR terms of use are accepted, but the policy needs both conditions to be met.
When this WOULD be correct
In a scenario where the security team wants to allow access if the user either has a compliant device OR has accepted terms of use (e.g., for a less sensitive app where flexibility is acceptable), selecting 'Require one of the selected controls' would be correct.
- ✗
Select 'Require multi-factor authentication' and 'Require terms of use' and choose 'Require all the selected controls'
Why it's wrong here
Multi-factor authentication is not a requirement in the scenario. The policy needs device compliance and terms of use, not MFA.
When this WOULD be correct
In a scenario where the security team requires both multi-factor authentication and acceptance of terms of use, and both must be satisfied, selecting 'Require multi-factor authentication' and 'Require terms of use' with 'Require all the selected controls' would be correct.
- ✓
Select 'Require device to be marked as compliant' and 'Require terms of use' and choose 'Require all the selected controls'
Why this is correct
This correctly enforces both device compliance and terms of use acceptance because the 'Require all' setting ensures that both grant controls are satisfied.

- ✗
Select only 'Require terms of use' and configure device compliance as a condition
Why it's wrong here
Terms of use alone does not enforce device compliance. Device compliance must be added as a grant control to be enforced, not as a condition. Conditions are different from grant controls.
When this WOULD be correct
Option D would be correct if the question asked for a policy that only requires terms of use acceptance, and device compliance is used as a condition to scope the policy (e.g., only apply to non-compliant devices) rather than as a grant control.
Option-by-option analysis
Why each answer is right or wrong
Understanding why wrong answers are wrong — and when they would be correct — is what separates a 750 score from a 900. The SC-900 exam frequently reuses these exact scenarios with slightly different constraints.
✓Select 'Require device to be marked as compliant' and 'Require terms of use' and choose 'Require all the selected controls'Correct answer▾
Why this is correct
This correctly enforces both device compliance and terms of use acceptance because the 'Require all' setting ensures that both grant controls are satisfied.
✗Select 'Require device to be marked as compliant' and 'Require terms of use' and choose 'Require one of the selected controls'Wrong answer — click to see why▾
Why this is wrong here
The policy requires both device compliance and terms of use to be enforced simultaneously, so 'Require one of the selected controls' would allow access if only one condition is met, violating the requirement.
★ When this WOULD be the correct answer
In a scenario where the security team wants to allow access if the user either has a compliant device OR has accepted terms of use (e.g., for a less sensitive app where flexibility is acceptable), selecting 'Require one of the selected controls' would be correct.
Why candidates choose this
Candidates may confuse 'Require one of the selected controls' with 'Require all the selected controls', thinking it means at least one control is required, but it actually means only one of the selected controls needs to be satisfied.
✗Select 'Require multi-factor authentication' and 'Require terms of use' and choose 'Require all the selected controls'Wrong answer — click to see why▾
Why this is wrong here
The policy requires both device compliance and terms of use, so 'Require all the selected controls' is needed. Option B incorrectly includes multi-factor authentication, which is not required, and uses 'Require one of the selected controls', which would allow bypassing one requirement.
★ When this WOULD be the correct answer
In a scenario where the security team requires both multi-factor authentication and acceptance of terms of use, and both must be satisfied, selecting 'Require multi-factor authentication' and 'Require terms of use' with 'Require all the selected controls' would be correct.
Why candidates choose this
Candidates may confuse multi-factor authentication with device compliance, or mistakenly think that 'Require one of the selected controls' is sufficient when multiple conditions are needed, due to misunderstanding of grant control logic.
✗Select only 'Require terms of use' and configure device compliance as a conditionWrong answer — click to see why▾
Why this is wrong here
Option D is wrong because it omits the 'Require device to be marked as compliant' grant control, which is explicitly required by the policy. Configuring device compliance as a condition only affects when the policy applies, not the grant requirements.
★ When this WOULD be the correct answer
Option D would be correct if the question asked for a policy that only requires terms of use acceptance, and device compliance is used as a condition to scope the policy (e.g., only apply to non-compliant devices) rather than as a grant control.
Why candidates choose this
Candidates may confuse the 'Conditions' section with 'Grant controls', thinking that setting device compliance as a condition satisfies the requirement, without realizing that grant controls enforce the actual access restrictions.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates often confuse 'Require one of the selected controls' with 'Require all the selected controls', mistakenly thinking that 'one of' is sufficient when the question explicitly states both conditions must be met.
Trap categories for this question
Scenario analysis trap
Multi-factor authentication is not a requirement in the scenario. The policy needs device compliance and terms of use, not MFA.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Conditional Access grant controls are evaluated after the policy conditions are met; 'Require device to be marked as compliant' checks the device's compliance status reported by Intune via the Microsoft Entra device registration, while 'Require terms of use' presents a Microsoft Entra Terms of Use (ToU) document that the user must accept. The 'Require all the selected controls' option ensures both checks are enforced, and if either fails, access is blocked—this is critical for protecting sensitive applications where device hygiene and legal acceptance are both mandatory.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
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.
