Assigning User Administrator Role In Azure Active Directory

MDFT Pro, a well-known training agency, is conducting a practical workshop on Azure Active Directory administration. Claire, the Identity and Access Management Instructor, has an Azure Active Directory tenant containing 5,000 user accounts representing various employees, students, and training staff.

Mark, the Access Control Specialist, has created a new user account named AdminUser1 for demonstration purposes. Claire needs to show her students the proper method to assign the User Administrator role to this account so it can manage other user accounts within the tenant.

What should Claire do from the user account properties to assign the User Administrator administrative role to AdminUser1?

Choose the correct answer from the options below.

Explanations for each answer:

From the Directory role blade, modify the directory role is correct. The Directory role blade is the correct location to assign administrative roles like User Administrator to a user account. This blade allows you to add or remove directory roles for user accounts.
From the Licenses blade, assign a new license is incorrect. The Licenses blade is used to manage product licenses for users, not to assign administrative roles. Licensing does not grant administrative permissions in Azure AD.
From the Groups blade, invite the user account to a new group is incorrect. Adding a user to a group does not directly assign directory roles. While you can assign roles to groups, the question asks specifically about assigning the role to the user account directly.
From the Authentication methods blade, configure multi-factor authentication is incorrect. The Authentication methods blade is used to configure security settings like MFA, not to assign administrative roles. This would not grant the User Administrator role to the account.
