Microsoft 365 Administrator Expert MS-102 Practice Question
You administer a Microsoft 365 E5 tenant that includes Microsoft Entra ID P2. You create a new Microsoft 365 group named Contractors with the membership type set to Assigned. You plan to delegate the Helpdesk Administrator role to this group by enabling it for role assignment in Entra ID Privileged Identity Management (PIM). When you open the group's Properties pane in the Entra admin center, the option Azure AD roles can be assigned to the group is unavailable (greyed-out). You need to determine why the option cannot be enabled.
What is the most likely cause?
The group is a Microsoft 365 group instead of a security group, which makes it ineligible for role assignment.
The tenant lacks the required Microsoft Entra ID Premium P2 license to support role-assignable groups.
All owners of a role-assignable group must be Global Administrators; the current owners do not meet this requirement.
Only groups with Dynamic membership can be enabled for role assignment; Assigned membership is not supported.
Only security groups-created in Microsoft Entra ID and marked as role-assignable-can hold directory roles. Microsoft 365 groups, even when their membership type is Assigned and the tenant has the required P2 licenses, are not eligible. Dynamic membership is not required, and group owners do not have to be Global Administrators. Therefore, the option is unavailable because the group is a Microsoft 365 group rather than a security group.
