Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals (SC-900)Describe the capabilities of Microsoft EntraEasy
A company wants to allow external contractors to access specific SharePoint Online sites and Microsoft Teams channels using their own corporate identities (e.g., from another Microsoft Entra tenant or a Google account). They need a solution that simplifies the invitation process and allows contractors to use their existing credentials without creating new accounts in the company's tenant. Which Microsoft Entra capability should be utilized?
- AMicrosoft Entra B2C
- BMicrosoft Entra B2B collaboration
- CMicrosoft Entra Application Proxy
- DMicrosoft Entra Domain Services
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Microsoft Entra B2B collaboration

Why the other options are wrong
- A. B2C is for customer-facing applications, allowing customers to sign up and sign in using social or local accounts.
- C. Application Proxy provides remote access to on-premises apps, not for managing external user identities.
- D. Domain Services provides managed domain controllers in Azure, not for external identity management.
