    • Exclude: Group2
  • Sign-in risk: Medium and above
  • Access controls:
    • Grant access: Require password change

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Statements:

  • User1 must change their password during sign in.
  • User2 must change their password during sign in.
  • User3 must change their password during sign in.

Answer

  • User1 must change their password during sign in: Yes
  • User2 must change their password during sign in: No
  • User3 must change their password during sign in: No

Explanation

The user risk policy applies to users who are members of Group1 and excludes users who are members of Group2. The policy requires a password change for sign-in risks that are medium and above.

Given the user risk levels:

  • User1 is a member of Group1 and has a high risk level. Therefore, User1 must change their password during sign in. (Yes)
  • User2 is a member of Group2 and has a medium risk level. However, the policy excludes Group2, so User2 does not need to change their password during sign in. (No)
  • User3 is a member of both Group1 and Group2 and has a high risk level. Despite the high risk level, the policy excludes Group2 members, which User3 is a part of. Therefore, User3 does not need to change their password during sign in. (No)
