Sample questions

Try each one before opening the answer. Every option is explained, with the Microsoft documentation page that proves it.

Question 1 · choose 1

A company's only Security Copilot workspace stores its data in the US. A new EU business unit must have its prompts and responses stored in the EU and must not be throttled when the US team is busy. What should you do?

  1. AChange the existing workspace's data storage location to the EU in Owner settings
  2. BCreate an EU workspace and let it draw on the US workspace's capacity
  3. CCreate a workspace with an EU storage location and link capacity of its own
  4. DTurn on prompt evaluation anywhere in the world for the existing workspace
Show the answer and why
  • AChange the existing workspace's data storage location to the EU in Owner settings

    Incorrect

    A workspace's storage location can't be changed after creation, and the US team would move too.

  • BCreate an EU workspace and let it draw on the US workspace's capacity

    Incorrect

    SCUs can't be shared between workspaces.

  • CCreate a workspace with an EU storage location and link capacity of its own

    Correct

    Each new workspace picks its storage location and is powered by its own capacity.

  • DTurn on prompt evaluation anywhere in the world for the existing workspace

    Incorrect

    That decides where prompts are evaluated, not where data is stored.

Customer Data is stored in the location chosen when a workspace is created, and that location can't be changed later; each new workspace can use the same or a different location. SCUs, provisioned or overage, can't be shared between workspaces, so the new workspace needs its own capacity. Prompt evaluation location is a separate setting about where GPU processing happens.

Question 2 · choose 1

An analyst has the Copilot contributor role and can create sessions, but prompts about Microsoft Sentinel incidents return no data. Following least privilege, what should you assign?

  1. AMicrosoft Sentinel Reader on the Sentinel workspace
  2. BThe Copilot owner role, which extends to Sentinel data
  3. CSecurity Administrator in Microsoft Entra ID
  4. DPermission for contributors to publish custom plugins for the tenant
Show the answer and why
  • AMicrosoft Sentinel Reader on the Sentinel workspace

    Correct

    Copilot accesses the data on behalf of the user, so the user needs the service's own role.

  • BThe Copilot owner role, which extends to Sentinel data

    Incorrect

    Copilot roles control platform features, not access to security data.

  • CSecurity Administrator in Microsoft Entra ID

    Incorrect

    It's a sensitive tenant-wide role, far broader than reading Sentinel incidents needs.

  • DPermission for contributors to publish custom plugins for the tenant

    Incorrect

    Plugin publishing doesn't grant access to Sentinel data.

Security Copilot roles control access to the platform and give no access by themselves to security data. Copilot uses on-behalf-of authentication, so an analyst who needs Sentinel incidents still needs an Azure RBAC role such as Microsoft Sentinel Reader. Following least privilege, the analyst doesn't need a sensitive Microsoft Entra role such as Security Administrator.

Question 3 · choose 2

Copilot owners want contributors to try custom plugins in their own sessions while only owners publish plugins for everyone, and they restrict one preinstalled plugin to owners. Which two statements are true? (Choose TWO.)

  1. AThe preinstalled plugin restriction applies only in the standalone portal
  2. BContributors can edit custom plugins that owners make available to the organization
  3. CSet own custom plugins to Contributors and Owners, and plugins for everyone to Owners only
  4. DPreinstalled plugins added later are available to owners only until someone configures them
  5. ESetting up an agent that needs the restricted plugin makes the plugin available to everyone
Show the answer and why
  • AThe preinstalled plugin restriction applies only in the standalone portal

    Incorrect

    Plugin availability settings apply to both standalone and embedded experiences.

  • BContributors can edit custom plugins that owners make available to the organization

    Incorrect

    Only owners can modify those plugins.

  • CSet own custom plugins to Contributors and Owners, and plugins for everyone to Owners only

    Correct

    The first setting enables the second, which owners can keep to themselves.

  • DPreinstalled plugins added later are available to owners only until someone configures them

    Correct

    Once access is restricted, new preinstalled plugins go to owners only.

  • ESetting up an agent that needs the restricted plugin makes the plugin available to everyone

    Incorrect

    The plugin is turned on only for that agent.

In Plugin settings, owners decide who can add custom plugins for themselves and, once contributors can, who can add them for everyone in the workspace. Restricting a preinstalled plugin is immediate and applies to both standalone and embedded experiences, and later preinstalled plugins go to owners only until configured. Plugins that owners publish can be used by all users but changed only by owners, and an agent's required plugins are enabled for that agent alone.

Question 4 · choose 1

Which Microsoft Entra role automatically inherits Security Copilot owner access?

  1. ASecurity Reader
  2. BBilling Administrator
  3. CReports Reader
  4. DHelpdesk Administrator
Show the answer and why
  • ASecurity Reader

    Incorrect

    It isn't in the list of roles that inherit owner access.

  • BBilling Administrator

    Correct

    Billing Administrator is one of the Entra roles that inherit owner access.

  • CReports Reader

    Incorrect

    It isn't in the list of roles that inherit owner access.

  • DHelpdesk Administrator

    Incorrect

    It isn't in the list of roles that inherit owner access.

Billing Administrator, Entra Compliance Administrator, Global Administrator, Intune Administrator and Security Administrator automatically inherit Security Copilot owner access, which ensures Copilot always has at least two owners.

Question 5 · choose 1

A company without Microsoft 365 E5 onboards to Security Copilot. What is the minimum number of provisioned SCUs it must buy?

  1. A3
  2. B1
  3. C10
  4. D100
Show the answer and why
  • A3

    Incorrect

    Three is the recommended number for an introductory exploration.

  • B1

    Correct

    A minimum of one provisioned SCU is required.

  • C10

    Incorrect

    The minimum is lower.

  • D100

    Incorrect

    That's the maximum.

Customers who aren't covered by the Microsoft 365 E5 and E7 inclusion must provision capacity, with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 100 provisioned SCUs. Microsoft recommends 3 units with unlimited overage for an introductory exploration.

Question 6 · choose 1

Where do you assign the Copilot owner and Copilot contributor roles?

  1. AIn the Microsoft Entra admin center, under Roles and administrators
  2. BIn the Azure portal, under Access control (IAM) for the Copilot capacity
  3. CIn the Microsoft Purview portal, under Roles and scopes
  4. DIn Security Copilot, under Role assignment
Show the answer and why
  • AIn the Microsoft Entra admin center, under Roles and administrators

    Incorrect

    Copilot roles aren't Microsoft Entra roles.

  • BIn the Azure portal, under Access control (IAM) for the Copilot capacity

    Incorrect

    Azure RBAC on the capacity covers SCUs.

  • CIn the Microsoft Purview portal, under Roles and scopes

    Incorrect

    Purview roles can inherit owner access but aren't where Copilot roles are assigned.

  • DIn Security Copilot, under Role assignment

    Correct

    Copilot roles are assigned within Security Copilot settings.

Security Copilot roles are defined and managed within Copilot. You assign them from the home menu in Security Copilot by selecting Role assignment, then Add members, and choosing Copilot owner or Copilot contributor.

Question 7 · choose 1

The preinstalled Microsoft Sentinel plugin shows a Set up button. Who completes its setup?

  1. AA Copilot owner, once for the whole workspace
  2. BA contributor allowed to publish plugins for everyone
  3. CEach user who has access to the plugin, for themselves
  4. DNobody; preinstalled plugins need no setup
Show the answer and why
  • AA Copilot owner, once for the whole workspace

    Incorrect

    Setup for these plugins is per user.

  • BA contributor allowed to publish plugins for everyone

    Incorrect

    Publishing rights concern custom plugins, not preinstalled plugin setup.

  • CEach user who has access to the plugin, for themselves

    Correct

    Plugins with a gear or Set up button are configured per user.

  • DNobody; preinstalled plugins need no setup

    Incorrect

    Some preinstalled plugins, like Microsoft Sentinel, need more setup.

Some preinstalled plugins, such as Microsoft Sentinel and Azure AI Search, require more setup. Any plugin with the gear or Set up button is configured per user, so every user who has access configures that plugin's setup for themselves.
