Q18 RBAC Domain 4 · 20–25% of exam Priority · Real Exam

Which mechanism can explicitly block an action even when an allow assignment exists?

  1. A A deny assignment (for example created by Azure Blueprints or a managed application) (correct answer)
  2. B A Reader role
  3. C A resource lock
  4. D A tag

Shortcut: Deny assignments take precedence over allow assignments. They are created by the platform, not directly by users, and are how managed applications protect their resources.
