2FA on a specific team

Hi.

I have enabled 2FA for a testuser and that works fine when i login to microsoft products in general. 

Now i want to make a specifik Team in Teams with 2FA, but i can't fiure out how and maybe it's not possible?

What i want to achive is to have a Team in teams that askes for 2FA every time you login to that specific team.

 

Hope there is a solution.

    Hi rhsanktpetriskole,

    It is not currently possible to enable MFA for a specific team in Microsoft Teams. 

    However, there are a few things you can do to improve the security of your team:

    • Create a private team. This will make it more difficult for unauthorized users to access your team.
    • Add only trusted users to your team. Be careful about who you grant access to your team.
    • Use team permissions. You can control what permissions users have in your team, such as the ability to create and edit channels, add and remove users, and share files.
    • Use sensitive conversation mode. This mode prevents users from forwarding or copying messages from the conversation.
    • Use encryption. Encryption can help to protect your data from unauthorized access.

    You can also use a third-party solution to enable 2FA for your team. For example, miniOrange offers a solution that allows you to enable 2FA for specific applications, including Microsoft Teams.

        Hi rhsanktpetriskole,

         

        Yes, the link you provided is a good resource for configuring highly sensitive protection for Microsoft Teams. This can be a good way to improve the security of your team, especially if it contains sensitive data.

        However, it is important to note that this feature is not specifically designed to enable MFA for a specific team. It is more general-purpose, and it can be used to implement a variety of security measures, such as:

        • Requiring users to authenticate with a strong password and/or MFA.
        • Preventing users from forwarding or copying messages from the team.
        • Preventing users from downloading or printing messages from the team.
        • Preventing users from adding new members to the team.
        • Preventing users from changing the team's settings.

        If you are only interested in enabling MFA for your team, then you may want to consider using a third-party solution, (such as miniOrange).

        Ultimately, the best way to secure your team will depend on your specific needs and requirements.
