Overview
Copilot sees what your users can see. This exam tests the admin who decides what that is.
AB-900 is a new Fundamentals exam for people who support and secure an AI-enabled Microsoft 365 environment. Data protection and governance weigh most, 35–40%: Purview, Copilot data access and oversharing, then agent approval. The exam runs 45 minutes, the credential does not expire, and Microsoft expects core services familiarity and AI tool use.

Course outline
From a Microsoft 365 tenant
From a Microsoft 365 tenant
to Copilot and agents you can govern.
We design this course ourselves. Microsoft runs the exam and issues the credential, and LUNARTECH is independent of Microsoft.
Every administrator starts by knowing what exists in a tenant. You learn how users, licenses, groups, SharePoint sites and mailboxes relate, and why a change to one affects the others.
- Users, licenses and service plans
- Microsoft 365 groups, security groups and teams
- SharePoint sites and OneDrive
- Exchange mailboxes and shared mailboxes
- How these objects connect
You build A diagram of one sample tenant that shows its users, groups, sites and mailboxes and how they connect.
Microsoft 365 is managed from several consoles, and knowing which to open saves hours. You tour the main admin centers, learn which tasks live in each, and see how admin roles limit what people can change.
- The Microsoft 365 admin center
- Entra, Purview and Defender portals
- SharePoint, Teams and Power Platform admin centers
- Admin roles and least privilege
- Choosing the right admin center for a task
You build A task-to-console guide for ten common administrative jobs.
Security in Microsoft 365 starts with who is signing in. You learn the Zero Trust idea, how authentication methods and multifactor work, what single sign-on does, and how Conditional Access decides who gets in.
- Zero Trust: verify, least privilege and assume breach
- Entra ID as the identity system
- Authentication methods and multifactor
- Single sign-on
- Conditional Access in plain terms
You build A short plan for a small company that sets sign-in methods and one Conditional Access rule.
Administrators of AI tools still need to know how attacks are spotted. You get to know what Defender XDR covers across mail, devices, identity and apps, and how its alerts and incidents reach the people who handle them.
- What Defender XDR brings together
- Defender for Office 365 and email threats
- Defender for Endpoint and Identity at a glance
- Alerts, incidents and Secure Score
- Where AI changes the threat picture
You build A one-page summary of which Defender product watches which kind of threat.
Copilot can only be as safe as the data controls beneath it. You learn what Purview does to classify and protect information, from sensitivity labels and data loss prevention to insider risk, and why this matters before any rollout.
- Sensitivity labels and what they do
- Data loss prevention basics
- Insider risk management at a glance
- Retention and audit basics
- How Purview supports AI use
You build A mapping of five data risks to the Purview feature that addresses each.
Copilot shows what a person is already allowed to see, and that is where trouble starts. You learn how permissions govern its answers, what grounding means, and why old sharing mistakes become visible once Copilot is on.
- Copilot and the user’s existing permissions
- Where Copilot draws its information from
- How oversharing arises in SharePoint and OneDrive
- What Copilot does and does not store
- Risks to data when AI tools are added
You build A short risk note that explains to a manager why Copilot can reveal files nobody meant to share.
Before Copilot goes wide, clean up what it could expose. You use Purview and SharePoint tools to find overshared sites and sensitive files, apply labels, and tighten access in a sensible order.
- Reports that show overshared sites and files
- Finding sensitive content with Purview
- Applying labels to protect what you find
- Tightening site access and sharing links
- Ongoing review so oversharing does not return
You build An oversharing clean-up plan for a sample SharePoint estate, with the order of work and its checks.
Copilot and agents are related but not the same, and administrators need to tell them apart. You compare chat-style assistance with agents that act, and see where each appears in Microsoft 365.
- What Copilot does for a user
- What an agent is and how it differs
- Prebuilt, shared and custom agents
- Where agents appear in Microsoft 365
- Risks that come with agents that act
You build A comparison sheet of Copilot and agents for use in an internal briefing.
AI services cost money in different ways, and administrators answer for the bill. You assign Copilot licenses, learn how pay-as-you-go billing works, and read usage reports to see what people actually use.
- Copilot license types and assignment
- Pay-as-you-go billing for agents
- Setting up billing and budgets
- Reading usage reports
- Reviewing licenses nobody uses
You build A licensing and billing plan for a pilot group, with the reports used to review it.
Anyone can build an agent, so someone has to decide which ones run. You set who may create and use agents, review requests, approve or block agents, and keep a record of the decisions.
- Who may create, share and use agents
- The agent approval process
- Reviewing an agent’s access and data sources
- Blocking and removing agents
- Keeping records of agent decisions
You build An agent approval procedure with a checklist for reviewing each request.
One scenario joins the course. You review a tenant’s objects, identity and data protection, plan the Copilot and agent rollout, and set up the reviews that keep it under control.
- Reviewing the tenant’s starting point
- Identity, data protection and oversharing checks
- Licenses, billing and usage monitoring
- Agent controls and approval
- Presenting the readiness review
You build A Copilot and agent readiness review for a sample tenant, with a prioritized action plan.

Your page is fantastic. As a bachelor’s student in Data Science now accepted for a master’s at UConn, your work has been a real source of motivation.
The programme’s clear, bite-sized content and practical projects dramatically improved my speed from fuzzy idea to MVP and my ability to communicate AI value. I followed the system, and it works.
I really appreciate your teaching style and the way you break down complex topics. It has been incredibly helpful.
After years working mainly with R for econometrics, I found your Python machine learning course a refreshing and engaging way to learn Python.
