Exam PL-200 topic 2 question 20 discussion

Why can't A be the answer?

Since the Anonymous User role is granted to users, and users can see the homepage already, that means the ANYONE CAN SEE THIS PAGE option is already ON on the homepage > the child page won't have the INHERITE PERMISSIONS FROM A PARENT PAGE available on the page, but only ANYONE CAN SEE THIS PAGE >> The correct answer must be A. "The option INHERITE PERMISSION FROM A PARENT PAGE is only available when a child page has a parent page with the ANYONE CAN SEE THIS PAGE option NOT selected." Ref: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-pages/security/page-security

it looks A not B,

The most likely cause of the issue is A. The setting to make the page available to everyone is disabled. In Power Apps portals, you need to explicitly set permissions for each page. If the linked page is not set to be available to everyone, users with the Anonymous Users role will not be able to view it

Setting to make the page available to everyone: If this setting is disabled, anonymous users (those with the Anonymous Users role) will not be able to view the page. This setting needs to be enabled to ensure that the page is accessible to all users, including those who are not authenticated.

Power Pages = Power Pages Portal.

i think b, but authenticated users are users too. "Inherit permissions from a parent page": This option is available when a child page has a parent page with the Anyone can see this page option not selected. and the other option is: Configure child page with unique permissions. if this one is selected and you are not a chosen one, then most probably you cannot access the page. even though the parent page is set to Anyone can see this page. if this one is selected and you are not part of the chosen ones, I think, you cannot see the child page. The setting to make the page available to everyone is disabled. The page = parent page or child page? Not clear. B. Inherited permissions are not enabled for the linked page. --> wording in settings is different!

Is the web role portion of this question just a red herring? It isn't specified whether the "test user" is assigned the anonymous user or authenticated authenticated user web role so doesn't that mean the role is irrelevant?

Option B. Inherited permissions are not enabled for the linked page is not correct because inherited permissions only apply to child pages of a parent page, not to pages linked from another page. Inherited permissions allow you to control the access to a group of pages that share the same parent page. For example, if you have a parent page called Products and several child pages for different product categories, you can use inherited permissions to grant or restrict access to all the child pages based on the parent page.

It has to be B because the question does not specify whether the "test user" is an Authenticated and Anonymous user. And this was on exam 7-4-23

A and C both incorrect because an access rule applies to all the child page. So you can't have half access and half restricted access from a parent page. B is correct.

B is the answer based on ChatGPT

A. The setting to make the page available to everyone is disabled.

Was on exam 02.03.23

B seems to make the most sense and the link in the moderator answer confirms.

For me and ChatGPT this is C.

as it says "Test user" it does not state if the test user is Authenticated or not the question is confuning
