Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question
Your company wants to create a Microsoft Entra custom role that can be assigned to help-desk staff. The role must let members reset passwords for non-administrator users and read the directory, but it must not allow creating, deleting, or updating any other directory objects. Which permission should you add to the custom role to meet the requirement?
For a Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) custom role, granular privileges are added as Microsoft Graph action strings. The permission that allows a principal to reset a non-administrator user's password is microsoft.directory/users/password/update. Adding this action together with the standard read-only actions (Directory.Read.All) enables the help-desk scenario without granting create, delete, or general update rights. The other listed actions either allow broader updates to user objects, affect credentials for privileged accounts, or modify group membership, none of which should be granted in this scenario.
