Required Privileges

To perform this task, a user must have one of the following roles assigned: Service Provider Global Administrator, Service Provider Administrator.

3. In the configuration menu on the left, click Security.
4. On the Multi-Factor Authentication tab, set Mandatory MFA usage for backup portal users toggle to On.

On the next authorization session, each user in the scope of an applied policy will be prompted to configure MFA by going through the Multi-Factor Authentication step of the Edit User wizard as described in the Modifying Own User Profile section.
