Full set: 420 questions
Answer options
A: Org-wide app settings
B: Policy packages
C: Permission policies
D: Manage apps Correct answer
Correct Answer:
D. Manage apps
Explanation

To block all apps from a specific third-party publisher, the administrator should use the 'Manage apps' page in the Microsoft Teams admin center. This page serves as the central catalog for all applications available to the organization. An administrator can filter the app list by the publisher's name, select all the apps from that publisher, and then use the 'Block' action to prevent them from being used across the entire organization. This is the most direct and efficient method for this task.

Why Incorrect

A. Org-wide app settings control high-level permissions, such as allowing or blocking all third-party apps, but managing apps from a specific publisher is done on the Manage apps page.
B. Policy packages are used to bundle and assign a set of policies to users with similar roles, not for blocking specific apps or publishers.
C. Permission policies define which apps users can access. While you could block apps here, you would have to add each app individually, which is less efficient than blocking them from the central 'Manage apps' page.
