Question

Note: This section contains one or more sets of questions with the same scenario and problem. Each question presents a unique solution to the problem. You must determine whether the solution meets the stated goals. More than one solution in the set might solve the problem. It is also possible that none of the solutions in the set solve the problem. After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return. As a result, these questions do not appear on the Review Screen. You have an Azure subscription named Sub1 that contains the resources shown in the following table. You have a user named Admin1 that is assigned the Desktop Virtualization Contributor role for Sub1. You need to ensure that Admin1 can assign Scaling1 to Pool1. Solution: You assign the Azure Virtual Desktop service principal the User Access Administrator role for Sub1. Does this meet the goal?

Why each option

Admin1 already possesses the necessary permissions to assign a scaling plan to a host pool through the 'Desktop Virtualization Contributor' role at the subscription level.

AYes

While the 'Azure Virtual Desktop Administrator' role would indeed provide the necessary permissions for managing Pool1, Admin1 already has these permissions by virtue of the 'Desktop Virtualization Contributor' role scoped at the subscription level. The solution does not add a new, required permission.

BNoCorrect

The 'Desktop Virtualization Contributor' role, which Admin1 already holds at the subscription level, grants comprehensive permissions to manage all Azure Virtual Desktop resources within that subscription, including host pools and scaling plans. Therefore, Admin1 already has the required ability to assign Scaling1 to Pool1, making the proposed solution of assigning the 'Azure Virtual Desktop Administrator' role redundant and not 'ensuring' a missing capability.
