"Only a user who is in the Privileged Role Administrator or Global Administrator role can manage assignments for other administrators" https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/id-governance/privileged-identity-management/pim-deployment-plan Privileged Role Administrator is not an option, thus Global Administrator it is.

A. The Global administrator role. Explanation: To implement Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM), a user must have elevated privileges that allow them to manage role assignments and access controls. The Global Administrator role has the highest level of permissions in Azure AD, including the ability to enable and configure Privileged Identity Management (PIM). Why not the other options? B. Security Administrator → Can manage security-related policies but does not have permissions to configure PIM. C. Password Administrator → Only manages password-related tasks and cannot implement PIM. D. Compliance Administrator → Focuses on compliance settings and auditing but lacks control over PIM.

To start using PIM in your directory, you must first enable PIM. 1. Sign in to the Azure portal as a Global Administrator of your directory. You must be a Global Administrator with an organizational account (for example, @yourdomain.com), not a Microsoft account (for example, @outlook.com), to enable PIM for a directory. Scenario: Technical requirements include: Enable Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM) for contoso.com

B. Security administrator role Here's why: The Security administrator role provides the necessary permissions to manage Azure AD security features, including PIM. It grants control over security policies, access management, and monitoring, which aligns with PIM's functionalities.

Seems an outdated question as PIM now is automatically enabled when a P2 license enabled user logs in? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/id-governance/privileged-identity-management/pim-getting-started When a user who is active in a privileged role in a Microsoft Entra organization with a Premium P2 license goes to Roles and administrators in Microsoft Entra ID and selects a role (or even just visits Privileged Identity Management): "We automatically enable PIM for the organization Their experience is now that they can either assign a "regular" role assignment or an eligible role assignment"

The Global administrator role has the highest level of privilege in Azure AD and provides full access to all administrative features, including the ability to configure and manage Azure AD PIM. This role allows the user to enable and configure Azure AD PIM for managing privileged roles and access in the Azure subscription. Therefore, the correct answer is: A. The Global administrator role.

Answer: A, Global Administrator Reason: Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM) requires Global Administrator permissions to be configured initially. While other administrators can manage specific PIM roles once it's set up, only Global Administrators can implement and configure PIM for the first time in an Azure AD tenant. Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/privileged-identity-management/pim-getting-started#prerequisites Note: Although a Security Administrator can manage some PIM settings after initial setup, they cannot implement PIM for the first time in an organization.

Privileged Role Administrator or Global Administrator role can manage assignments for other administrators

PIM itself is a high-privilege service because it controls admin role assignments. Other roles like Security administrator, Password administrator, and Compliance administrator don’t have permission to enable/configure PIM or assign roles at that level.
