Correct answer & explanation
Access reviews
Access reviews are a Microsoft Entra ID P2 feature that allows administrators to automate periodic reviews of group memberships, application access, and role assignments. This capability is not available in P1, which lacks the automated review workflows and attestation features that P2 provides for governance and compliance.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
The trap here is that candidates often confuse Conditional Access policies as a P2-only feature, but they are actually available in P1, while P2 adds Identity Protection risk-based policies and PIM, not the base Conditional Access engine.
Detailed technical explanation
Access reviews leverage the Microsoft Graph API to schedule and execute reviews, generating detailed audit logs and allowing delegated reviewers to approve or deny access via the My Access portal. In real-world scenarios, organizations use access reviews to enforce least-privilege access for privileged roles, automatically removing stale assignments after a review period expires, which is critical for compliance frameworks like SOC 2 or ISO 27001.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
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.
