MS-721: Which Teams Live Event Role Allows Starting/Stopping and Screen Sharing Under Least Privilege?

Discover the correct Microsoft Teams Live Event role (Producer vs Presenter/Organizer) for starting events, sharing screens, and enforcing least privilege access in MS-721 exam scenarios.

Question

You have a Microsoft Teams deployment.

You plan to use Teams to create a live event.

A user named User1 requires the following responsibilities:

  • Start and stop the live event.
  • When needed, share the active desktop and participant video.

You need to recommend a live event role for User1. The role must follow the principle of least privilege.

Which event group role should you recommend?

Select only one answer.

A. Attendee
B. Organizer
C. Presenter
D. Producer

Answer

To assign User1 the responsibilities of starting/stopping the live event and sharing active desktops/participant video while adhering to the principle of least privilege, the recommended role is D. Producer.

D. Producer

Explanation

The producer controls the live event stream, including the following:

  • Start and stop the live event.
  • Share their own video.
  • Share a participant’s video.
  • Share an active desktop or window.
  • Select layouts.

Key Responsibilities by Role

Producer

  • Start/stop the live event.
  • Share active desktops or windows and switch between participant video feeds.
  • Manage layouts and moderate Q&A.
  • Cannot schedule events or modify permissions (unlike Organizers).

Organizer (B)

  • Schedules events, sets permissions, and configures settings.
  • Over-permissive for User1’s needs (exceeds least privilege).

Presenter (C)

  • Shares audio/video/screens but cannot start/stop events.
  • Screen sharing is limited to one presenter at a time.

Attendee (A)

  • View-only role with no control over the event.

Why Producer Fits Least Privilege

The Producer role grants exactly the permissions User1 requires (start/stop events, share screens/video) without unnecessary access to event scheduling or attendee management21420. Organizers and Presenters either lack critical permissions (e.g., starting events) or have excess privileges (e.g., scheduling).

Example

A Producer can start the event, switch between Presenter screens, and end the broadcast, while an Organizer’s broader permissions (e.g., inviting users, changing roles) are unnecessary for User1’s tasks.
