AZ-204 Certification Practice Question #135

Question

You are developing an Azure App Service REST API.
The API must be called by an Azure App Service web app. The API must retrieve and update user profile information stored in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
You need to configure the API to make the updates.
Which two tools should you use? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Accepted Answer

To retrieve and update user profile information stored in Azure AD, the application needs Microsoft Graph API — it is the unified endpoint for all Microsoft 365 data including AAD user profiles. To call Graph API, the application must first authenticate and obtain an access token, which is exactly what MSAL (Microsoft Authentication Library) provides. Azure API Management (C) is a proxy/gateway service unrelated to querying AAD user data. The suggested answer (B only) is incomplete; the overwhelming community vote of AB (18 votes) and multiple high-scoring exam confirmations make AB the correct answer.
