What is a Conditional Access policy?

Conditional Access policies operate on the basic principle of if-then scenarios. That is, if a user seeks access to a specific resource, they are required to complete a certain action. A typical scenario could be: If a user attempts to access a Microsoft 365 application or service, they would be required to verify their identity through multifactor authentication before access is granted.

What is the limitation of Conditional Access policy?

A notable constraint of Conditional Access is the cap of 195 policies per tenant. This ceiling encompasses Conditional Access policies in any status, including those that are in report-only mode, activated, or deactivated. It's advisable to categorize your applications by grouping those that necessitate similar resource access for identical sets of users, thus optimizing policy application.

How do I monitor Conditional Access policies?

To track Conditional Access policies, users should refer to the Microsoft Entra sign-in logs.

What can use Conditional Access policies to control session in real time?

Utilizing Conditional Access App Control, it's possible to supervise and manage user application access and sessions dynamically based on defined access and session policies. These are crafted within the Defender for Cloud Apps portal, allowing administrators to tailor filters and specify actions to be executed.
