Microsoft Azure Administrator (AZ104) Practice Exam

What action must be performed to assign the User administrator role to a new user account in Azure AD?

1. Modify the directory role from the Directory role blade

2. Invite the user account to a new group from the Groups blade

3. Assign a license from the Licenses blade

The correct answer is: Modify the directory role from the Directory role blade

To assign the User Administrator role to a new user account in Azure AD, modifying the directory role from the Directory role blade is the appropriate action. In Azure Active Directory, directory roles define the permissions associated with users in your tenant. The User Administrator role specifically allows users to manage other users and their properties, including the ability to reset passwords and manage user groups. When you access the Directory role blade in the Azure portal, you can view the various roles available, including the User Administrator. From there, you can assign this role to the new user account by selecting the role and adding the user to ensure they have the necessary permissions to perform administrative tasks related to user accounts in your organization. Assigning a license from the Licenses blade pertains to granting access to specific Azure services and features, which is a different function from role assignment. Similarly, inviting a user account to a group from the Groups blade deals with membership and authorization based on group policies, rather than directly assigning administrative roles required for user management.
