An energy utility company is designing an identity governance and privileged access strategy for its production Azure subscription. The subscription contains critical infrastructure resources. The design must meet the following requirements:
- Provide just-in-time (JIT) administrative access for the network operations team.
- Require multi-factor authentication (MFA) and manager approval for JIT role activation.
- Ensure that administrative permissions are governed at a group level rather than assigned to individual accounts.
- Maintain a recovery path using emergency access (break-glass) accounts that can bypass MFA in case of a tenant-wide identity outage.
Which design strategy should you recommend to meet these requirements?
- ACreate a Microsoft Entra ID security group for the operations team, assign this group the required Azure RBAC roles as permanently active, and exclude the emergency access accounts from the Conditional Access MFA policies.
- BCreate individual Microsoft Entra ID user accounts for the operations team, assign each account as eligible for the required Azure RBAC roles in Privileged Identity Management (PIM) with MFA and approval required for activation, and exclude the emergency access accounts from the Conditional Access MFA policies.
- Create a Microsoft Entra ID security group for the operations team, assign this group as eligible for the required Azure RBAC roles in Privileged Identity Management (PIM) with MFA and approval required for activation, and exclude the emergency access accounts from the Conditional Access MFA policies.Cevap
- DCreate a Microsoft Entra ID security group for the operations team, assign this group as eligible for the required Azure RBAC roles in Privileged Identity Management (PIM) with MFA and approval required for activation, and apply the Conditional Access MFA policies to all accounts in the tenant without exclusions.
Cevap
Create a Microsoft Entra ID security group for the operations team, assign this group as eligible for the required Azure RBAC roles in Privileged Identity Management (PIM) with MFA and approval required for activation, and exclude the emergency access accounts from the Conditional Access MFA policies.
The correct strategy leverages group-based assignments for scalable security, uses Privileged Identity Management (PIM) to ensure role assignments are eligible rather than permanently active, and properly excludes emergency accounts from MFA requirements to secure a recovery route during tenant-wide MFA outages.
Adım Adım Çözüm
Anahtar Kavram
Combining group-based RBAC assignment, Privileged Identity Management (PIM) eligibility settings, and Conditional Access exclusions for emergency accounts.
