A global financial institution is transitioning its administrative framework to Citrix Cloud. The security team mandates that Citrix Cloud administrators must authenticate using the company's existing Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) rather than separate Citrix credentials.
Furthermore, the organization requires that junior helpdesk staff only have access to perform session resets and shadowing, without the ability to alter Machine Catalogs or Delivery Groups.
Which combination of configurations must the lead architect implement to satisfy both the authentication and authorization constraints?

participant Admin as Helpdesk Admin
participant CC as Citrix Cloud
participant IdP as Azure AD
Admin->>CC: Access citrix.cloud.com
CC->>IdP: Redirect for Auth
IdP-->>CC: SAML/OIDC Token
CC->>Admin: Grant Role-Based Access
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
To meet the requirements, the architect must link the Azure AD tenant in the 'Identity and Access Management' section of Citrix Cloud. Afterwards, administrators can be invited using their Azure AD identities. Assigning the 'Help Desk Administrator' role ensures they only have access to Director features like session resets, satisfying the principle of least privilege.
