Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals SC-900 Practice Question
A user signs in to Microsoft Entra ID with the correct credentials and receives a security token, but is then told they do not have permission to open a particular SharePoint Online site. In terms of identity concepts, which process has succeeded and which one has failed in this scenario?
The sign-in process that confirms the user is who they claim to be is authentication, and it completed successfully because the user obtained a valid token. The process that evaluates the user's permissions to decide whether the requested SharePoint Online site can be accessed is authorization, and that process failed because the user was denied access. Therefore, authentication succeeded while authorization failed. The other options reverse these roles, claim both processes failed, or mix in federation, which is unrelated to the permission decision for a SharePoint resource.
