Sure, I'll provide a detailed explanation for each of the authentication types mentioned and which ones would be suitable for a Dynamics 365 Finance cloud implementation for a local art school.

  1. Use assigned roles: Using assigned roles is a common authentication type for Dynamics 365 Finance cloud implementations. With this option, users are assigned roles within the system, and their access is restricted based on the assigned roles. This approach helps to ensure that users only have access to the areas of the system that are relevant to their job functions. This approach can be suitable for the local art school if they have a well-defined set of job functions and responsibilities.

  2. Use an enabled Dynamics 365 Finance user: This authentication type involves enabling users within Dynamics 365 Finance to access the system. With this option, users are granted access based on their user account within Dynamics 365 Finance. This approach is suitable if the art school is looking to have a limited number of users accessing the system and if the school does not want to manage additional user accounts.

  3. Use OAuth: OAuth is an open standard for authorization that allows third-party applications to access a user's account information without requiring the user to provide their login credentials. This authentication type is suitable for scenarios where a third-party application needs to access Dynamics 365 Finance data on behalf of a user. Since the art school is not likely to have any third-party applications accessing their Dynamics 365 Finance data, this option may not be necessary.

  4. Use a valid Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) account: Azure AD is a cloud-based identity and access management service provided by Microsoft. This authentication type is suitable if the art school already has an Azure AD account set up and wants to use this account to authenticate users within Dynamics 365 Finance. This approach can be useful if the school already has a well-established user account management system in place.

  5. Use a valid Active Directory account: Active Directory is a Microsoft technology used for managing users, computers, and other resources within a network. This authentication type is suitable if the art school is using an on-premises Active Directory to manage user accounts and wants to use this directory to authenticate users within Dynamics 365 Finance. This approach can be useful if the school wants to manage user accounts centrally and have these accounts integrated with other systems in their network.

In conclusion, the two authentication types that would be most suitable for a Dynamics 365 Finance cloud implementation for a local art school are A. Use assigned roles and D. Use a valid Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) account. The art school can use assigned roles to restrict access to relevant areas of the system based on job functions, and if they already have an Azure AD account set up, they can use this account to authenticate users within Dynamics 365 Finance.
