Rule description

This rule queries the specified Office 365/Azure AD scope and for each user returned, set the user's MFA status (Enabled, Disabled) according to the setting specified on the rule.

Note: This rule covers the legacy Microsoft MFA mechanism. The recommendation is to use the newer Conditional Access Policies or Security Defaults instead of legacy MFA. This rule will be redesigned in the future to take advantage of the newer mechanisms.

 

When to use this rule

Use this rule when you need to enforce bulk Multi-Factor Authentication for Microsoft 365 users.
