How to interpret non-interactive user sign-ins?
Non-interactive user sign-ins are sign-ins that are performed by a client app or an OS component on behalf of a user. These sign-ins don't require any interaction or authentication factor from the user. For example, authentication and authorization using refresh and access tokens that don't require a user to enter credentials.
Below are some of the examples when non-interactive sign-in gets triggered,
• A client app uses an OAuth 2.0 refresh token to get an access token.
• A client uses an OAuth 2.0 authorization code to get an access token and refresh token.
• A user performs single sign-on (SSO) to a web or Windows app on an Azure AD joined PC.
• A user signs in to a second Microsoft Office app while they have a session on a mobile device using FOCI (Family of Client IDs).
- Thank you. The documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/reports-monitoring/concept-all-sign-ins#non-interactive-user-sign-ins says something similar, but I still can't wrap my head around it. For the specific case I outlined - what does that mean for the Application "Microsoft App Access Panel"?
- Thank you, understood. Now, when looking at the logs, was the user able to successfully navigate to that page or not? In the interactive sing-ins the Status is either Failure or Interrupted, while in the non-interactive sign-ins the status is a Success.
