Conditional access policies

Conditional Access Policies generally consider various factors to assess whether to allow or deny access to a specific resource or service. By implementing them, organizations can effectively enforce security measures that align with their unique needs and requirements.

2. Click on Conditional Access Policies under Security.

Configure Login from the web interface

1. Select Login in the Target drop-down menu and click on the plus button (Add).

2. Choose a policy name and action from the Action when matched and Action when not matched menus.
   • Continue: Go to the next policy. Default action is applied if it is the last policy.
   • Access Denied: The user access will be denied. Users will receive an error and will not be abled to log in.
   • Access Allowed: The user access will be allowed. A 2FA could be needed, depending on the configuration.

   • MFA Required: MFA is enforced for all users. A default MFA type is set for all users.
   • MFA Skipped: MFA is not enforced.
   • MFA Optional per User: MFA is enforced on an individual basis. The administrator chooses who uses MFA and what product or technology they use. Choose this option if not all users are set up for multi-factor authentication.

2. Back to the Multi-factor section, choose who to send the reset email to between Administrator(s) or a Specific email (in which case you must specify the email in the Specific email field).
