Which users will Microsoft Purview insider risk management flag as potential high-impact users?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management flags high-impact users based on various risk factors, including role, access to confidential data, and influence within an organization. Let's analyze each user:

User1 (Regional Manager, assigned Reader role, manages department managers)

Risk Factors:

Holds a managerial position (regional manager).

Manages multiple department managers, indicating organizational influence.

Access to critical business information.

Flagged? -Yes (Managerial role and access to confidential data).

User2 (HR department manager, no Microsoft Entra roles, manages HR department users)

Risk Factors:

Manages HR department users, meaning they likely handle sensitive employee data.

HR roles are often considered high-risk due to access to personal and payroll data.

Flagged? -Yes (HR role and access to sensitive employee data).

User3 (Developer, reports to User2, only user in compliance, assigned Compliance Administrator role)

Risk Factors:

Compliance Administrator role grants access to sensitive security and regulatory data.

Only person in the compliance department, meaning they hold a critical role.

Potentially high impact on compliance and security settings.

Flagged? -Yes (Privileged Compliance Administrator role).

User4 (Assistant to User1, no Entra roles, handles confidential data on behalf of User1)

Risk Factors:

Handles a high volume of confidential data on behalf of a regional manager.

Assistants with access to sensitive data are considered insider risk candidates.

Flagged? -Yes (High access to sensitive information).

Since all four users fit high-impact criteria (managerial roles, privileged compliance access, handling sensitive data), Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management will flag all of them.

I've got a strategy here. I'll focus on the user's job title, access level, and any other risk factors mentioned in the table. That should help me determine the most likely high-impact users.

This is a no-brainer. User1, User2, and User3 are the obvious choices. I'm surprised they even included User4 as an option - that's just a distraction, right?

Gotta be option C. Those three users have the most sensitive information and permissions. Microsoft Purview will definitely flag them as potential high-impact users.
