Enable Conditional Access template for guest MFA requirement and SharePoint sharing

Hi,

 

I plan to enable template for Conditional Access for GUEST and External users to be forced for MFA. I just cant find answer whether this will affect also external users that we have shared SharePoint folders with? Will they be asked to user/register with MFA? ... or it will affect only users that are GUESTS members in our Entra?

 

 

Thank you.

  • Hi sumo83,

     

    When you start using this template all external users will be included, see screenshot below. That means that all authentication to Entra that is not from a member user will be affected by this conditional access rule.

    So to concretely answer your question: Yes this also applies to external users with whom you have shared an SP folder.

      thank you for info... Under which group will fall an external user that I simply share a folder with via link as "People you choose" option please?

      I'm still a bit confused about it...
