Quarterly access reviews will cover all guest users in the tenant. Which reviewer options does Microsoft Entra access reviews support?
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B
An access review can assign reviewers in several ways: the owners of the group or team, a selected set of users or groups, the users reviewing their own access, or the users' managers. For a guest review, self-review is commonly used because guests know whether they still need access, while group owners are a good choice when access is granted through a group. Global Administrators and Privileged Role Administrators configure the review but are not required to be the reviewers.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Global Administrator is a configuration role for access reviews, not the only permitted reviewer. Restricting reviews to it would not scale and would concentrate judgement in one team.
- C. Manager review depends on the manager attribute, which is typically populated for employees rather than external guests. It is one option, not the only one.
- D. Privileged Role Administrator can manage the feature but is not a required reviewer, and that role is scoped to privileged assignments rather than guest access.
Exam tip. Reviewers can be owners, selected users, self, or managers.
