Exam SC-300 topic 1 question 13 discussion

The answer is simple. Answer is correct. Why? Because nested group do not inherit licenses.

Group 4 cannot be a member of group 1.

When you assign a Microsoft 365 Enterprise E5 license to Group1, the license will apply to all users within the group — not devices, and not duplicated if the user already has it assigned elsewhere. Let’s break it down: Group1 Members: User1 ✅ (counts — not licensed yet) User3 ✅ (counts — not licensed yet) Group2 (Dynamic User group) contains User2 ✅ (counts — not licensed yet) Group4 (Microsoft 365 group) contains User4 ❌ (already licensed via Group4, doesn’t count again) User5 is not part of Group1 — ❌ ignore Device1 is not a user — ❌ ignore User4 already has a license — ❌ ignore Group2 and Group4 are containers, only their user members count ✅ So the unique users who will consume the license via Group1: User1 User2 User3 That’s 3 licenses used.

Answer B) 2 It is a bad question because Group 1 is technically not possible because you are not allowed to add 365 Group to Security group. But, for sake of answering this question.... Licensing only applies to first tier users and not to nested groups.

Nested group do not inherit licenses.

Agreed: "Group-based licensing currently does not support groups that contain other groups (nested groups). If you apply a license to a nested group, only the immediate first-level user members of the group have the licenses applied."

Group4 (MS365) in Group1(Security) is it possible? contraduction with Topic1-Question9

But why is it 2 and not 1?

B: 2 licenses, because nested group do not inherit licenses and M365 Group can not be member of Security Group.

2 licenses

Group-based licensing currently doesn't support groups that contain other groups (nested groups). If you apply a license to a nested group, only the immediate first-level user members of the group have the licenses applied.

Answer is correct.

B: 2 licenses

It doesn't affect the correct answer, but M365 Groups (Group4) cannot be contained to other groups. This example showing that Group1 contains Group4 is wrong. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/how-to-manage-groups#add-or-remove-a-group-from-another-group

agree it is b

B. nested group do not inherit licenses
