MS-900 · Question #412
A company is evaluating Microsoft 365. You need to identify concepts of using the principle of least privilege. Which two concepts should you identify? Each correct answer presents a complete…
The correct answer is A. Just-in-time access B. Just-enough-access. The principle of least privilege ensures users have only the minimum access needed, for only the time needed. Just-in-time and just-enough-access are the two core concepts that directly implement this principle.

Why each option
The principle of least privilege ensures users have only the minimum access needed, for only the time needed. Just-in-time and just-enough-access are the two core concepts that directly implement this principle.
Just-in-time (JIT) access is a direct implementation of least privilege by granting elevated permissions only when needed and for a limited duration, reducing the attack surface from standing privileges - this is a foundational concept in Microsoft's Zero Trust and Privileged Identity Management (PIM) model.
Just-enough-access (JEA) directly embodies least privilege by ensuring users and accounts are granted only the specific permissions required to perform their role, nothing more, preventing over-provisioning and limiting the blast radius of compromised accounts.
Azure AD Multifactor Authentication is an identity verification and authentication strength control, not a mechanism for limiting the scope or duration of access permissions as defined by least privilege.
Blocking legacy authentication addresses a security vulnerability related to authentication protocols that cannot support modern MFA, which is a security hardening measure but not a concept of least privilege access scoping.
