Microsoft SC-500 Exam - Topic 2 Question 6 Discussion

Posted by Vashti on Aug 14, 2026 at 08:13 PM

You have a Microsoft Entra tenant that uses Privileged Identity Management (PIM).

You need to modify the AI Administrator role settings to meet the following requirements:

*Elevated access must be evaluated by another administrator before it is granted

*Privileged access must be removed automatically after a fixed period.

Which two settings should you configure? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Suggested Answer: B, E

Approval before elevation is implemented by requiring approval to activate the PIM role. Automatic removal after a fixed active period is controlled by the activation maximum duration. Expiring active or eligible assignments governs the assignment lifecycle, not the duration of each activation session. Requiring justification can improve audit quality, but it does not ensure that another administrator evaluates the request or that access ends after the configured active window. This domain is tested through precise scope control: tenant, subscription, resource, application, and data-plane authorization are not interchangeable. The correct choice applies the smallest identity or governance control that enforces the stated requirement. Options that only add users, create registrations, or provide broad administrator access fail because they do not directly enforce the requested access behavior. The result is a direct exam-style implementation choice: it changes the required security behavior without relying on unrelated monitoring, manual cleanup, or excessive privilege.

I thought we could just set a time limit without needing approvals?

Wait, does anyone really need approval for everything? Seems excessive.

I recall that the activation maximum duration is something we discussed, but I can't remember if it's E or if it relates to the expiration of assignments.

I feel like I might be mixing things up, but I think requiring justification on activation could also be important. Maybe C is part of the solution too?
IL

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the setting about expiring active assignments after a certain period could be A. It sounds familiar from the practice questions we did.
KI

I remember that requiring approval to activate is crucial for having another admin evaluate the access, so I think B is definitely one of the answers.
