    AZ-305 · Question 08 · Domain 1.2: Authentication and Authorization

    You are designing an administrative access strategy for Azure resources using Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM).

    You have a resource group named 'RG-Production'. A team of developers needs the 'Virtual Machine Contributor' role on this resource group to troubleshoot issues, but they should only have this access when actively working on an approved support ticket.

    You need to ensure that when developers activate the role, a manager must explicitly approve the activation. Furthermore, the developers must provide the support ticket number during activation.

    How should you configure the PIM role settings for 'Virtual Machine Contributor' on 'RG-Production'?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Set activation to require MFA, require justification, and set the maximum activation duration to 8 hours.

    B.

    Set activation to require approval, require justification, and assign the manager as the approver.

    C.

    Create an Azure Logic App that triggers on role activation and sends an email to the manager.

    D.

    Assign the developers as 'Eligible' and the manager as 'Active' for the role.

    How to approach this question

    Identify the native PIM features that map to 'manager approval' and 'ticket number input'.

    Full Answer

    B.Set activation to require approval, require justification, and assign the manager as the approver.✓ Correct
    Microsoft Entra PIM allows you to configure specific settings for role activations. To meet the requirements, you must edit the role settings for 'Virtual Machine Contributor' on the specific scope (RG-Production). You enable 'Require approval to activate' and specify the manager as the approver. You also enable 'Require justification on active assignment', which forces the developer to enter text (the ticket number) when requesting activation.

    Common mistakes

    Overcomplicating the solution with Logic Apps or confusing MFA requirements with Approval requirements.
