Question

Difficulty: HardUsers and Groups in Microsoft Entra ID

An organization has a Microsoft Entra ID tenant. The tenant contains a dynamic security group named IT-Personnel and an administrative unit named IT-AU. The IT-Personnel group is a member of IT-AU. A user named Admin1 is assigned the Groups Administrator role scoped to IT-AU. You need to determine if Admin1 can update the dynamic query that defines the membership of the IT-Personnel group.

Is the statement 'Admin1 can modify the dynamic membership rule of the IT-Personnel group' true or false?

Answer: Answer

Answer

False
The correct answer is False because administrative unit-scoped directory roles do not grant permissions to modify the membership rules of dynamic groups. Changing the query definition of a dynamic group requires a tenant-wide administrator role.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the administrator's scoped role assignment.
Admin1 has the Groups Administrator role scoped to the IT-AU administrative unit.
This establishes the scope boundary of Admin1's administrative authority.
2
Determine the capabilities of a Groups Administrator role scoped to an administrative unit.
An administrative unit-scoped Groups Administrator can manage standard properties, licenses, and member lists of assigned groups in their scope.
To distinguish permissions between assigned and dynamic groups.
3
Evaluate permissions required to modify dynamic group membership rules.
Modifying dynamic group membership rules is a tenant-wide action requiring tenant-level roles, such as tenant-level Groups Administrator or Global Administrator.
To verify that administrative unit delegation does not cover dynamic query modifications.

Key Concept
