Question 60
A business wants to discover active Microsoft 365 service advisories without being granted Global Administrator. The team observes: The help desk was given Global Administrator just to read service outage details. Which configuration mistake best explains this reported failure?
- The administrator never updated the initial organization contact record.
- The Message center updates were not part of operational change review.
- The license's individual service plan was disabled despite an assigned SKU.
- Service-health observation was overprivileged instead of using a narrower administrative role.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Service-health observation was overprivileged instead of using a narrower administrative role. That issue explains the observed symptom: The help desk was given Global Administrator just to read service outage details. The relevant correction is: Assign a role that can read service health and service messages without tenant-wide administration.
Incorrect Answers
A:The administrator never updated the initial organization contact record. would fit a different circumstance involving: A new Microsoft 365 tenant must expose the organization's actual support number and company details to users. Here the actual symptom is: The help desk was given Global Administrator just to read service outage details.
B:The Message center updates were not part of operational change review. is a plausible failure in another case: A change surprises staff even though it was announced to tenant administrators. It does not explain the current incident: The help desk was given Global Administrator just to read service outage details.
C:The license's individual service plan was disabled despite an assigned SKU. would fit a different circumstance involving: The help desk must determine why a user cannot launch licensed Microsoft 365 Apps. Here the actual symptom is: The help desk was given Global Administrator just to read service outage details.
