The given scenario describes a situation where an Azure AD user named Admin1 is unable to create access reviews from the Azure Active Directory admin center. However, Admin1 can access all other Identity Governance settings. The user has been assigned the User administrator, Compliance administrator, and Security administrator roles, and the objective is to ensure that Admin1 can create access reviews in the contoso.com tenant.

The proposed solution is to assign the Global administrator role to Admin1 to grant them access to the required settings.

The solution would meet the goal of enabling Admin1 to create access reviews as the Global administrator role is the highest privileged role in Azure AD and grants access to all settings and features, including the Access reviews settings. However, it should be noted that granting the Global administrator role to a user should be carefully considered as it confers broad and potentially unrestricted access to the entire Azure AD tenant.

In this scenario, if granting the Global administrator role to Admin1 is deemed necessary to achieve the goal, it should be done in accordance with the principle of least privilege and with consideration of the associated security risks.

Therefore, the correct answer is: A. Yes
