Microsoft AB-900 Exam Questions

The correct answer is B. the Microsoft 365 admin center. Microsoft documents that administrators assign product licenses to users from the Microsoft 365 admin center, including on the Active users page where you can open a user account and manage Licenses and apps. Microsoft also documents license assignment workflows there for both direct assignment and group-based licensing scenarios. That makes the Microsoft 365 admin center the standard administrative portal for giving a user access to Microsoft 365 services and features.

The other options are incorrect for this task. The Microsoft Purview portal is used for compliance, governance, data protection, eDiscovery, audit, and related Purview solutions, not for assigning Microsoft 365 product licenses. The Microsoft Teams admin center is used to manage Teams settings, policies, devices, voice, and collaboration features, but it is not the central portal for assigning tenant product licenses to users.

The correct answer is D. an app registration. Microsoft Learn states that to delegate identity and access management functions to Microsoft Entra ID, an application must be registered with a Microsoft Entra tenant. When you register an application, you create its identity configuration in Microsoft Entra, and a corresponding service principal is created so the application can authenticate and integrate with the tenant. This is the standard Microsoft mechanism for allowing a third-party cloud service or app to authenticate to Microsoft Entra.

The correct answers are A and D because Microsoft Entra Identity Secure Score is based on identity security recommendations, and Microsoft Learn specifically lists recommendations such as ''Designate more than one Global Administrator'' and ''Do not expire passwords.'' That means the number of global administrators in the tenant and whether password expiration is disabled directly influence the Identity Secure Score. Microsoft also notes that the score measures how closely an organization aligns with Microsoft's recommended identity security best practices.

Option B is incorrect because SharePoint site permissions are related to SharePoint and Microsoft 365 workload permissions, not to the Entra identity-focused scoring model. Option C is incorrect because user location may be evaluated in Conditional Access and Zero Trust scenarios, but it is not itself listed as a direct Identity Secure Score factor in the Microsoft Entra recommendations referenced by Microsoft Learn. Identity Secure Score is driven by tracked identity recommendations and security configurations, not by simple geographic placement of users.

The correct answer is B. Data explorer. Microsoft Learn states that Data explorer in Microsoft Purview shows a current snapshot of items that have been classified as a sensitive information type in your organization. Microsoft's sensitive information type documentation specifically lists examples such as social security numbers and credit card numbers, which means Data explorer is the appropriate portal feature for identifying files and emails that contain those data types. Data explorer is designed to help administrators see where sensitive data exists across supported Microsoft 365 locations.

The other options are less appropriate for this task. Information Protection reports focus more broadly on label and protection reporting. Information Protection policies are for configuring classification and protection behavior, not for finding existing files and emails containing SSNs or credit card numbers. Activity explorer is primarily used to review user and policy-related activities, such as label changes or DLP events, rather than to provide the direct sensitive-data inventory view requested here. Since the question asks to identify the files and emails containing specific sensitive information types, Microsoft's documented answer is Data explorer.

The correct answer is B. data loss prevention (DLP) policies. Microsoft Learn states that Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention helps organizations identify, monitor, and automatically protect sensitive information across Microsoft 365 locations such as Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and devices. Microsoft specifically documents scenarios for preventing sensitive items from being shared with external users in SharePoint and OneDrive, and DLP policies can also block or restrict sharing based on sensitive information types, labels, or policy conditions. This is exactly the control used when the requirement is to stop users from sharing corporate financial data outside the organization.

Option A is incorrect because retention labels manage how long content is kept or deleted, not whether it can be shared externally. Option C is incorrect because role groups are used for permissions and administrative access delegation, not content-sharing prevention. Option D is incorrect because Insider Risk Management is designed to detect and investigate risky user behavior, not to directly block external sharing transactions in the way DLP policies do. For proactive enforcement of external-sharing restrictions on sensitive financial information, Microsoft's documented solution is DLP policies.
