You have a Microsoft 365 subscription and Azure AD on the Premium P1 tier.
You are planning license allocation and want to create a group that will automatically add all users from the Sales-department.
What kind of group in Azure Active Directory should you create?
Click on the arrows to vote for the correct answer
A. B. C. D.Correct Answer: C
You should create a security group with the dynamic user membership type, and add the dynamics query:
Option A is incorrect.
Assigned membership type will not automatically assign your licenses based on a query.
Option B is incorrect.
We are using the attribute “department” which is associated with the Azure AD user, not device.
Option D is incorrect.
For assigning licenses we should use a Security group, not Microsoft 365
Also the membership type is Assigned, which will not let us create a query to assign licenses based on department information.

To automatically add all users from the Sales-department in Microsoft 365 subscription and Azure AD, we need to create a dynamic group. A dynamic group is a group in Azure Active Directory whose membership is determined based on defined rules, rather than manually adding or removing users. Dynamic groups can be created based on user attributes such as department, job title, location, etc.
Out of the given options, the suitable group type for this scenario would be "Security" as it is used to manage security-related settings such as access control, conditional access, and device policies. Membership type should be "Dynamic User" as we want to automatically add all users from the Sales-department based on the user attribute.
So, the correct answer is option C: Group type: Security, Membership type: Dynamic User.
Option A (Group type: Security, Membership type: Assigned) is not suitable for this scenario as it requires manual assignment of users, and it is not practical for large organizations or frequent changes in user membership.
Option B (Group type: Security, Membership type: Dynamic Device) is also not suitable as it adds devices dynamically based on the rules and not users.
Option D (Group type: Microsoft 365, Membership type: Assigned) is not appropriate as we need a security group to manage security settings.
