Office 365 Users Multi-Factor Authentication (Legacy MFA) Status rule

  • Updated
Follow

Rule description

This rule queries the specified Office 365/Azure AD scope and for each user returned, reports the user's MFA status (Enabled, Disabled). This rule reports on but does not change the MFA status.

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 get the report with the MFA statuses of Microsoft 365 users.
