You apply a ReadOnly lock to RG1.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
As an administrator, you may need to lock a subscription, resource group, or resource to prevent other users in your organization from accidentally deleting or modifying critical resources.
ReadOnly means authorized users can read a resource, but they can't delete or update the resource. Applying this lock is similar to restricting all authorized users to the permissions granted by the Reader role.
Incorrect Answers:
C: A ReadOnly lock on a resource group that contains a virtual machine prevents all users from starting or restarting the virtual machine. These operations require a POST request.

Tried and it works - can export template for locked Storage Account. Cannot view keys. (POST requests are not allowed on a resource with ReadOnly lock)

Agree with msftfan. A is correct answer. I have tried in my tenant. I am able to export the template and generate the automation script for Resource Group. With ReadOnly lock, we can't view the keys in storage account. Tested this as well.

Even A is not possible. I put a read lock on the Resource group. Went to the deployments tab. Selected the deployment and clicked "View template" and got the error below. Error goes away if I remove the read lock on RG. ------- The scope '/subscriptions/../resourceGroups/rg-vm1/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/CreateVm-canonical.0001-com-ubuntu-server-focal-2-20210526134944' cannot perform write operation because following scope(s) are locked: '/subscriptions/.../resourceGroups/rg-vm1'. Please remove the lock and try again. (Code: ScopeLocked)

I stand corrected. I was using the wrong tab. The correct tab would be under "Automation" call "Export Template". I am able to export the template with read -lock on RG. So A is the right answer.

Hey All, I just tested the scenario, when locking RG you cannot acces to the Keys but you can generate the automation script. So the answer is : A

A read-only lock on a storage account prevents users from listing the account keys. The Azure Storage List Keys operation is handled through a POST request to protect access to the account keys, which provide complete access to data in the storage account. When a read-only lock is configured for a storage account, users who don't have the account keys must use Azure AD credentials to access blob or queue data. A read-only lock also prevents the assignment of Azure RBAC roles that are scoped to the storage account or to a data container (blob container or queue). So B, C, D are incorrect. We are left with A, seems to be correct.

Well, if the question ReadOnly lock is working on RG1, then here need automation script. So option A is correct. But if the question is ReadOnly lock to Storageaccount1, option B is correct. Therefore, check the question carefully when doing the exam. I do belive every time, they only slightly change one or two key words from the question then the answer is different.

Alright, I change my mind. Most of us didn't check the question clearly including me! The question says that RG1 has been lock as ReadOnly then what can you do from Azure Potal? Of course, we can do nothing but viewing... Sorry for the incorrect reply at previous.

A read-only lock on a storage account prevents all users from listing the keys. The list keys operation is handled through a POST request because the returned keys are available for write operations.
