A software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider is designing a privileged access solution for 10 operations engineers who need temporary, approved Contributor access to a production Azure subscription. The design must enforce the principle of least privilege, require multi-factor authentication (MFA) for role activation, and ensure that access eligibility automatically expires after 180 days. Which of the following identity governance designs should you recommend?
- Configure a Microsoft Entra ID security group containing the operations engineers, and assign the group as eligible for the Contributor role in Privileged Identity Management (PIM) with approval and MFA requirements enabled in the PIM role settings.Cevap
- BAssign the Contributor role directly to the individual Entra ID user account of each operations engineer using Azure RBAC, and configure Azure Monitor to track their activity.
- CConfigure a Microsoft Entra ID security group containing the operations engineers, and assign the group as permanently active in the Contributor role in Privileged Identity Management (PIM) to bypass the activation workflow during high-severity incidents.
- DConfigure a Microsoft Entra ID security group containing the operations engineers, assign the group as eligible for the Contributor role in PIM, and configure a Conditional Access policy that requires MFA for all admin interfaces but excludes this group to ensure uninterrupted access.
Cevap
Configure a Microsoft Entra ID security group containing the operations engineers, and assign the group as eligible for the Contributor role in Privileged Identity Management (PIM) with approval and MFA requirements enabled in the PIM role settings.
The correct design uses a Microsoft Entra ID security group to aggregate the operations engineers, satisfying the best practice of avoiding direct user assignments. By assigning this group as eligible (not active) for the Contributor role in Privileged Identity Management (PIM), access is kept just-in-time. The requirements for MFA and approval are enforced natively in the PIM role activation settings, and the 180-day limitation is configured via the assignment duration.
