MFA Requirements for external users
Good evening all,
Where can I check the default MFA rules for external guests? i.e, —
Can someone please explain to me the default MFA rules for guests accessing SharePoint data shared with them?
Scenario: the guest user was granted access to a specific folder on a SharePoint site via “People I choose” option. SharePoint sends the automated email sent to the recipient. SharePoint sends them this email –
Upon the first click on the “Open” button in the email, they’re prompted to sign in with their Microsoft Account and then authenticate themselves using MFA. This seems normal for the first time accessing.
I am getting complaints that external users are having to use MFA EVERY time they try to access the files, and I am thinking it’s due to the internal user not sharing the same way I am doing it. In any case, I would like somewhere to check from an Administrative perspective what exactly to expect when it comes to sharing internal items externally and when/if MFA should come into play. Thank you in advance!
