SC-900 Describe the capabilities of Microsoft Entra Practice Question
You are configuring Microsoft Entra ID for a new user. The user will need to access resources in multiple Microsoft cloud services (Office 365, Azure, Dynamics 365). Which Microsoft Entra edition is minimally required to provide single sign-on (SSO) across these services?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers assume SSO requires a premium edition like P1 or P2, but Microsoft Entra ID Free already provides SSO across Microsoft cloud services, and the question specifically asks for the minimally required edition.
