Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals (SC-900)Describe the capabilities of Microsoft EntraHard
A large enterprise needs a scalable solution to manage external contractors and partners who require temporary access to specific applications and data. The solution must allow these external users to use their existing corporate or social identities to sign in, rather than creating new accounts in the enterprise's Microsoft Entra ID. Which Microsoft Entra capability is best suited for this scenario?
- AMicrosoft Entra External Identities B2B collaboration
- BMicrosoft Entra Domain Services
- CMicrosoft Entra Verified ID
- DMicrosoft Entra Connect
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Microsoft Entra External Identities B2B collaboration
Microsoft Entra External Identities B2B collaboration allows organizations to securely share applications and resources with external users. These users can sign in using their own identities, such as their corporate credentials from another Microsoft Entra tenant, or social identities like Google or Facebook.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Domain Services provides managed domain services in Azure, not external user collaboration.
- C. Verified ID enables decentralized digital identity for verification, not direct application collaboration.
- D. Entra Connect synchronizes on-premises AD, not manages external user access.
Microsoft Entra B2B Collaboration
A feature of Microsoft Entra External Identities that allows organizations to securely collaborate with external users by inviting them to their tenant.
- External users use their own identities (corporate, social).
- No need to create new accounts in the host tenant.
- Enables access to applications and resources.
Memory trick: B2B Collaboration is like inviting guests to your digital party using their own IDs.
