The correct answer is D. Reports reader.

To give User1 the ability to view Analytics & Reports in the Microsoft Teams admin center, the least privileged role that can accomplish this task is the Reports reader role.

The Reports reader role is designed to grant users read-only access to reports related to Microsoft Teams. This role enables a user to view usage reports, call quality reports, and audit logs for Teams. The role doesn't allow the user to make any changes or modifications to Teams settings.

Assigning the Reports reader role to User1 will give them access to the analytics and reports in the Microsoft Teams admin center, without granting them any unnecessary permissions.

Option A, Groups administrator, is not the appropriate role for this task, as it grants the user full control over groups in Office 365, including the ability to create, modify, and delete groups. This is more permissions than necessary to view analytics and reports.

Option B, Skype for Business administrator, is also not the correct answer, as it grants the user full control over Skype for Business settings, which are separate from Teams.

Option C, Global reader, grants the user read-only access to all the settings and data in the Microsoft 365 admin center. While this role can grant access to Teams analytics and reports, it also grants access to a lot of other information that may not be relevant or necessary for User1 to perform their duties.
