A retired agent must no longer authenticate or access Microsoft 365. What lifecycle step?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Retire means kill the identity and strip access — not a cosmetic rename with Global Admin still attached.
Full Explanation
Correct Answer — A
Agent identity lifecycle includes secure decommissioning so retired agents cannot continue to access resources.
Why B is wrong: Maintains maximum risk.
Why C is wrong: Secret exposure.
Why D is wrong: Rename without access removal is insufficient.
Exam tip: Retired agent → decommission Agent ID + remove access.
