How Do Guest Users Accept Terms of Use in Teams?
Short answer
C Create a Conditional Access policy that requires guest users to accept the company's terms of use before accessing Teams.
Question
Key Takeaways
The question tests Conditional Access integration with Microsoft Entra terms of use for guest users; the trap is choosing an identity-governance feature such as an access review because it also concerns guest accounts.
This MS-700 question tests how to force partner guest users in a standard Teams channel to accept the company terms of use before gaining access. The correct mechanism is a Microsoft Entra Conditional Access policy that references a published terms-of-use document, not an access review, Verified ID, or PIM.
Common mistake: Many learners pick an access review (B) because it is associated with reviewing guest access and governance, but access reviews only recertify membership or role assignments and never present terms of use at sign-in.
Expert Analysis
Why the Answer Is Correct
Creating a Conditional Access policy is the mechanism that binds a terms-of-use (TOU) document to sign-in and requires users — including guests from fabrikam.com — to accept it before they reach Teams. In Microsoft Entra, you first publish a TOU and then reference it from a Conditional Access policy scoped to guest users and the Teams cloud app. That policy is evaluated at authentication, so a guest cannot open the standard Teams channel until the acceptance is recorded. This matches the community consensus: as Maclouis116 linked, the official Entra document explains that "You need to accept Terms of Use before you can gain access to Teams". Therefore C is the correct choice.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
A. Microsoft Entra Verified ID is for verifiable credential issuance and verification, not for enforcing acceptance of a TOU; it cannot gate Teams access on a TOU acceptance. B. An access review periodically recertifies group or application membership; it does not present a TOU at sign-in, so guests would still reach Teams before any review runs. D. Privileged Identity Management (PIM) governs just-in-time privileged role activation for administrators, not guest access to a channel or a TOU gate. None of these options satisfy the "before gaining access to Teams" requirement.
Community Comment Notes
Maclouis116 points directly to the Microsoft Entra Terms of Use documentation and the sentence "You need to accept Terms of Use before you can gain access to Teams", which is the exact requirement in the question. f2d1faa adds that you "have to create a conditional access policy to apply a Terms of Use condition", summarizing the two-step configuration of publishing a TOU and referencing it in a policy. NaelShoukry's "Correct answer c" and Maclouis116's follow-up "Definitely Conditional access policy" echo that this is not a governance or identity-proofing feature. The vote count is unanimous, but the decisive evidence is the Entra TOU documentation itself. No comment raises a meaningful counterargument.

Exam Strategy
When an MS-700 question asks about blocking access until terms of use are accepted, look for Conditional Access with a terms-of-use policy; remember the TOU is published in Entra and then referenced by the policy. Do not be distracted by PIM or access reviews, which solve different identity-governance problems.
