Explanation

This question tests knowledge of Azure AD Access Reviews auto-remediation settings, specifically how to configure automatic removal of non-responsive users from roles without manual administrator intervention.

Approach. The two settings to modify are: (1) 'Auto apply results to resource' - enable this to automatically apply review decisions without requiring an admin to manually process results; and (2) 'If reviewers don't respond' - set this to 'Remove access', which ensures users who do not respond to the review request are automatically removed from the role. Together these settings create a fully automated remediation workflow that requires zero administrative follow-up.

Concept tested. Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM) Access Reviews - specifically the auto-apply and non-response handling settings that control what happens when reviewers fail to act within the review period.
