Question

You have hired a new Azure Engineer that will be responsible for managing all aspects of enterprise applications and app registrations. This engineer will not need to manage anything application proxy related. You need to grant the proper role to the engineer to perform his job duties while maintaining the principle of least privilege. What role should you grant?

Explanation

Cloud Application Administrator is the correct choice because this role grants full permissions to manage enterprise applications and app registrations, while specifically excluding Application Proxy management - perfectly aligning with the principle of least privilege for this scenario.

Why the others are wrong:

  • A. Global Administrator has unrestricted access to all Azure AD features, which violates least privilege and is far more than needed.
  • B. Application Administrator is similar but includes Application Proxy permissions, giving the engineer more access than required.
  • D. Enterprise Administrator is not a valid Azure AD built-in role, making it a fabricated distractor.

Memory Tip: Think of it this way - Cloud Application Administrator = Application Administrator minus the Proxy. The word "Cloud" is the hint that this role lives entirely in the cloud, with no on-premises Application Proxy component. Whenever a question removes proxy responsibilities, move up to the "Cloud" variant to cut down the permissions.
