Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals SC-900 Practice Question
A company is evaluating several Microsoft cloud offerings and asks where user identities will be stored and authenticated. When describing Microsoft Entra ID to them, which statement best summarizes its role in the Microsoft cloud ecosystem?
A cloud-hosted network security appliance that inspects and filters internet traffic at the edge.
A cloud database service for storing application data such as tables and documents.
A centralized cloud identity and access management service that stores users and grants authentication and authorization to Microsoft 365, Azure, and many SaaS apps.
A virtual machine platform that lets you run Windows or Linux servers on demand.
Microsoft Entra ID is Microsoft's cloud-based identity and access management service. It keeps directories of users and groups, authenticates those identities, and issues the authorization tokens that let them access Microsoft 365, Azure resources, and thousands of integrated third-party applications. It is not a general database service, a compute service such as virtual machines, or a network security appliance. Those other services do not provide directory, authentication, or single sign-on capabilities, so they cannot replace Microsoft Entra ID for identity needs.
