[CoE Starter Kit - QUESTION] Mandatory MFA

[MartinWGT]

Does this question already exist in our backlog?

• [X] I have checked and confirm this is a new question.

What is your question?

Microsoft are going to enforce MFA starting in 15th October 2024. It's not clear if this will be applied to the service account we use to run CoE. It has the Power Platform Administrator role, but doesn't need to login to Azure directly. Can you confirm if this is going to cause an issue please? Our admin team say the conditional access exceptions will become ignored and the 'remember multifactor authentication for trusted devices' option is being deprecated. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/entra/identity/authentication/concept-mandatory-multifactor-authentication

I'm afraid this is really a question for the product team and not us. However I can tell you that to my understanding this change does not impact power automate as I believe the MFA is only a requirement for when you are accessing Azure. I could be wrong but that is my understanding.

Here is the product's current documentation about Power Automate and MFA https://learn.microsoft.com/troubleshoot/power-platform/power-automate/administration/conditional-access-and-multi-factor-authentication-in-flow

Thanks Jenefer. I'm thinking the same; that it shouldn't impact us. The concern was that some of the details in the link you provided are becoming deprecated i.e. 'remember multifactor authentication'.

[Jenefer-Monroe]

Gotcha. I can assign this to Grant to press on the product team to ensure their information is up to date.

[MartinWGT]

That would be good, thanks.
