You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription.
You create an account for a new security administrator named SecAdmin1.
You need to ensure that SecAdmin1 can manage Microsoft Defender for Office 365 settings and policies for Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive.
Solution: From the Microsoft 365 admin center, you assign SecAdmin1 the SharePoint Administrator role.
Does this meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because assigning SecAdmin1 the SharePoint Administrator role does not grant the necessary permissions to manage Microsoft Defender for Office 365 settings and policies across Teams and OneDrive. The appropriate role needed for managing Defender settings is the Security Administrator role, which encompasses broader security management capabilities beyond just SharePoint.
