Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question
You assigned the built-in Azure Policy "Allowed locations" at the production subscription scope. After a merger, three resource groups must remain in an unsupported region for the next six months. You need to prevent those resource groups from being reported as non-compliant without removing or modifying the existing policy assignment. What should you configure?
Wrap the existing policy in an initiative definition and assign the initiative instead.
Add a role assignment granting the Policy Contributor role to each resource group.
Create a policy exemption for each of the three resource groups.
Create a new policy assignment with the Allowed locations policy but set the effect to Disabled at the resource-group scope.
A policy exemption is designed for temporary or permanent waivers when a resource cannot meet a policy requirement. When an exemption is applied to a specific scope, resources in that scope are excluded from compliance evaluation results, yet the original assignment and its auditing history remain intact and can be re-enabled at any time. Placing the policy inside an initiative does not exclude the resource groups; it only groups definitions. Granting the Policy Contributor role changes who can edit policies, not how they are evaluated. Creating a second assignment with the Disabled effect at a lower scope does not override a Deny assignment at a higher scope because Deny has higher precedence than Disabled.
