Microsoft 365 Mobility and Security (legacy) — Question 162

You have a Microsoft 365 subscription. You have a user named User1.
You need to ensure that User1 can place a hold on all mailbox content.
What permission should you assign to User1?

Answer options

• A. the eDiscovery Manager role from the Microsoft 365 compliance center
• B. the Compliance Management role from the Exchange admin center
• C. the User management administrator role from Microsoft 365 admin center
• D. the Information Protection administrator role from the Azure Active Directory admin center

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The eDiscovery Manager role from the Microsoft 365 compliance center is the correct permission because it allows users to place holds on mailbox content. The other roles, such as Compliance Management and User management administrator, do not provide the necessary capabilities for managing mailbox holds, while the Information Protection administrator role is focused on data protection rather than eDiscovery tasks.
