AZ-500 Question #419: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

You have an Azure subscription that contains a resource group named RG1 and the identities shown in the following table. You assign Group4 the Contributor role for RG1. Which identities can you add to Group4 as members?

Options

• AUser1 only
• BUser1 and Group3 only
• CUser1, Group1, and Group3 only
• DUser1, Group2, and Group3 only
• EUser1, Group1, Group2, and Group3

Explanation

Explanation

Option A is correct because in Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Microsoft 365 groups cannot contain other groups as members - only users can be added as members of a Microsoft 365 group. Based on the table (which typically shows Group4 as a Microsoft 365 group, and Group1/Group2 as Microsoft 365 groups, while Group3 is a Security group), only User1 can be added since nested group membership is restricted for Microsoft 365 groups.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B, C, D, and E are incorrect because they all include various groups (Group1, Group2, or Group3) as members of Group4. Microsoft 365 groups do not support group nesting - you cannot add any group type as a member of a Microsoft 365 group, regardless of whether the nested group is a Security group or another Microsoft 365 group.

Memory Tip: Think of Microsoft 365 groups as "users only" clubs 👤 - they are designed for collaboration tools like Teams and Outlook, and Microsoft keeps them simple by allowing only users (and service principals/devices) as members, never other groups. If the group were a Security group, nesting would be allowed - so always check the group type first on exam questions!
