Types of Identification for Customer Portal Registration

Correct Answer: B

LiveSafe customers should use their social login to register at the company's portal.

They need to use credentials from third-party identity providers like Microsoft, Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc., for the registration.

Power Apps portal provides two methods of registration: Local authentication - creates a local identity with a username and password stored in a Dataverse database internally.

External authentication - uses credentials of the third-party identity providers, like OAuth2 (Microsoft, Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc.), OpenID (Azure AD, Azure AD B2C), and WS-Federation and SAML 2.0 (AD on-premises).

Portal administrators can enable/disable Identity providers and set them as default on the portal's Authentication Settings panel.

For each authenticated user, a portal creates a contact record in the Dataverse database.

It also assigns a web role.

The role defines a user's access to portal resources.

All other options are incorrect.

In the context of a portal registration, customers may use different types of identification depending on the organization's policies and requirements. Let's take a closer look at each option:

A. Register for a new local environment: This option refers to the creation of a new environment within the Power Platform specifically for the customer's use. This option is not related to customer portal registration and is therefore not the correct answer.

B. Register using an external account: This option refers to the use of an existing account from an external identity provider, such as Microsoft, Google, Facebook, or LinkedIn, to register and sign in to the portal. This option offers the advantage of not having to create a new account, reducing the need for users to remember multiple credentials. Customers can use an email address and password associated with their external account to sign in to the portal.

C. Redeem invitation: This option refers to the use of an invitation code to register and sign in to the portal. The code is typically provided by the organization or a system administrator and can be used to grant access to a specific portal or a set of portals. This option is useful when the organization needs to manage access to its portals and ensure that only authorized users can access them.

D. Register using Azure AD account: This option refers to the use of an account managed by Azure Active Directory (AD) to register and sign in to the portal. Azure AD is Microsoft's cloud-based identity and access management service, providing a single sign-on experience for users across different applications and services. Customers can use an email address and password associated with their Azure AD account to sign in to the portal.

In summary, the correct answer is D. Register using Azure AD account, although customers may also use external accounts or redeem invitations to register and sign in to the portal, depending on the organization's policies and requirements.
