You have a Microsoft 365 subscription that contains the users shown in the following table.

Exam MS-500 Question 266

You discover that all the users in the subscription can access Compliance Manager reports.

The Compliance Manager Reader role is not assigned to any users.

You need to recommend a solution to prevent a user named User5 from accessing the Compliance Manager reports.

Solution: You recommend modifying the licenses assigned to User5.

Does this meet the goal?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

Modifying the licenses assigned to User5 will not directly prevent access to Compliance Manager reports. Access to Compliance Manager is controlled by roles and permissions rather than licenses. To prevent User5 from accessing these reports, you would need to ensure that User5 is not assigned a role within Compliance Manager that grants access to those reports. Since there is no Compliance Manager Reader role assigned to any user, it implies that there is a default access setting that grants access. Modifying licenses wouldn't address this role-based access. Therefore, the recommended solution does not meet the goal.

Just an FYI, while this is correct for when the test was created, it is not correct anymore today. You no longer have to have at least one member in each compliance manager role to disable access to all users. MS finally decided in their infinite wisdom that it was a bad idea to have all your users be able to perform actions in compliance manager....

Outdated: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/meet-data-protection-and-regulatory-reqs-using-microsoft-cloud?view=o365-worldwide "Note that there is no longer a default Guest access role. Each user must be assigned a role in order to access and work within Compliance Manager."

but we are trying to prevent user5 from accessing the compliance manager reports. How does assigning him the reader role prevent that?

Exactly. read the question again. Role and Licenses are different. in the question the proposed solution talks about licenses.

The given answer is correct :The answer is to assign the compliance manager reader role to user 1. Since no one was assigned this role, means every one have access. So when the role is assigned to User 1, User 5 loses access

If the User5 license is modified (maybe removed) this should prevent User5 from access to the Compliance Manager right? (not tested).

AFAIK unlicensed users can still be compliance managers and do stuff in compliance/admin portals so answer should be No

Can you provide a link that states that? I cannot find anything about assigning the reader role to prevent other users access.
