Trying to enable MFA for all Global Admin accounts in Azure AD.
When navigating in Azure portal to
AzureAD->Users->All Users->Multi-Factor Authentication->Global Administrators,
What I see is a list of all Global Admins, but the checkboxes are all greyed out and clicking a greyed out user shows side pane without enable button. Only one that is not greyed out is the subscription user whose email ends with *.onmicrosoft.com The others are external invited users.
I think we are using free AzureAD version. (non premium)
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/authentication/concept-mfa-licensing
This docs page says it should be possible to enable it.
Am I missing something or is this intended?
You should go to Azure AD blade, then to Security, then to Conditional Access, then select Baseline policy: Require MFA for admins (Preview) and enable it

I am an administrator with enabled MFA in my own Azure B2C tenant. And suddenly one day I was not able to sign in to that tenant. Just stuck on the page "Help us protect your account". Buttons "Next" and "Skip for now..." just redirect back to this page.
I tried to check in my environment for this same error this error may occur if your administrator has enabled the security defaults as 'yes' on your tenant or alternatively you can use Azure AD Multi-Factor Authentication using the Microsoft Authenticator app using notifications.
To get rid of the screen you can disable security defaults like below:
Go to azure portal ->azure active directory ->properties ->manage security defaults -> NO -> save as below
After disabling security default, I am able to access on the page successfully as below
Reference: multi-factor authentication (MFA) and blocking legacy authentication.
In Azure portal under Azure AD B2C -> Users, there are two users listed both of which I added while running some of the AD examples. I want to delete both users however the delete button is disabled. How to enable the button and delete the users please?
Edit: I want to remove the user from my tenant directory and any apps they are associated with. If the user is associated with other tenants I don't want to touch that configuration.
Under roles and administrators I am shown as "Global administrator".
This is a paid Azure subscription.
Is it possible you are logged in with the user that is selected in your screenshot? Because this is the only way I am able to reproduce the button being disabled.
Even if you are looking at a B2C directory, you will also have the "normal AAD" users in this list, which are used to manage the directory. This way it could look like you have a user which signed up using a B2C user journey, when in fact it was not.
I am not able to see my DevOps organization after detaching it from the AAD on the left hand side panel after logging in, Though i can access it with a URL dev.azure.com/ and change the settings etc.
I only those organizations which are attached to the AAD. I also tried to switch my account type to Microsoft Account but the option is not there in the dropdown in the profile section.
I only see those organizations which are attached to the AAD.
According to your description, this should be an expected behavior. Since you organization is detached from the AAD. It will definitely not shown in the same list of those organizations still in AAD.
In other words, you are using the account which backed in AAD to login Azure DevOps.
To see this organization, you need to use personal account (Even it's totally the same name compared with work account) to login that Azure DevOps Organization.
but the option is not there in the dropdown in the profile section. Yes, there is no such option setting. You could take a look at our official doc here:
Why can't I sign in after I select "personal Microsoft account" or
"work or school account"?
Although both identities use the same sign-in address, they're
separate: they have different profiles, security settings, and
permissions. Sign out completely from Azure DevOps by completing the
following steps. Closing your browser might not sign you out
completely. Sign in again and select your other identity:
Close all browsers, including browsers that aren't running Azure
DevOps.
Open a private or incognito browsing session.
Go to this URL: https://aka.ms/vssignout.
You see a message that says, "Sign out in progress." After you sign
out, you're redirected to the Azure DevOps #dev.azure.microsoft.com
webpage.
If the sign-out page takes more than a minute to sign you out, close
the browser and continue.
Sign in to Azure DevOps again. Select your other identity.
Suggest you to use a InPrivate mode browser to login, then use your Microsoft Account to authenticate, also select personal account if you need to choose between a "work or school account" and my "personal account".
I recently added an Azure AD B2C tenant to an existing subscription.
Whenever I want to manage that tenant on portal.azure.com, I have to verify my account:
After clicking Next I can only select Mobile app from the dropdown to verify my account. There is no option to verify by phone.
Since this tenant is new, I first have to register it in Microsoft Authenticator by selecting Set up:
This brings up an error message without Correlation ID or timestamp:
There are no Conditional Access policies. In fact, I cannot add any since this tenant does not have Azure AD Premium. Nor does the Azure AD tenant holding the subscription from which this AD B2C tenant was created.
MFA is only required when trying to manage the AD B2C tenant through portal.azure.com, not on other applications, and not when accessing the Azure AD tenant.
Questions:
How can I disable MFA for this AD B2C tenant? And why was it enabled in the first place?
If MFA cannot be disabled, how can I register my device or phone number?
Thx,
The issue is resolved. Not sure if Azure Support took action without notifying, or because of what I did.
Anyway, here are the steps I took:
On portal.azure.com, go to Azure AD > Users > Multi-Factor Authentication.
(It's in the top menu.)
The Multi-Factor Authentication page opens in a new browser window.
Enable MFA for the user account with the issue.
Logon with that account on account.activedirectory.windowsazure.com.
Click your account in the top-right corner to open a dropdown menu and select Profile.
Select 'Additional Security Verification'.
All verification options are available here, including call, text, or use mobile app (Microsoft Authenticator).
Complete the Additional Security Verification and make sure MFA works.
Go back to Azure AD > Users Multi-Factor Authentication, and Disable MFA again.
In our case, MFA was set to Disabled for all users but active anyway, both for local accounts in the AD B2C tenant and External Active Directory accounts.
MFA status of External Active Directory users cannot be changed on the Multi-Factor Authentication page of the AD B2C tenant. This has to be done in the Azure AD page of their respective AD tenant.
The problem is solved, but the cause is undetermined. We do not have an AD Premium subscription and should not have access to the MFA feature at all.
I think your answer #flip is part of the riddle. You're in effect pre-registering your phone number so when forced to setup MFA you're granted the additional TEXT options. We've noticed variations in the AAD join processes where sometimes you're prompted to enter a phone number prior to this step, and sometimes not.
For example if you log on to a device as a local user and join AAD as illustrated you can get both scenarios. I think the same is true for new build as in a previous Test we had to enter a mobile number but I can't recall exactly which scenario.
However, after several more days with Azure support we've managed to isolate root cause if anyone is interested. Turns out MFA IS being enforced through "Security Defaults" (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/concept-fundamentals-security-defaults). MS have actually just updated their article TODAY to clarify.
In effect, disabling Security Defaults will stop the enforcement although be wary not to confuse the prompts with Windows Hello setup as we were (we tested by disabling completely via Group Policy). I'm convinced however this wasn't the case a week ago and something's been changed behind the scenes recently.
Bottom line, you're going to have to deploy MFA in some form to join AAD unless you disable Security Defaults. Not great for endpoint migration but at least we know where it's coming from now.
I think we may have partly figured this out. In our instance, disabling MDM User Scope allowed logon without any 'Additional Security Verification' being enforced. We don't have an InTune subscription either but this is under AAD > Mobility (MDM and MAM). It does mean however, devices aren't enrolled so where exactly MDM is picking up this configuration from is the next question. Will be putting this to Azure support when they call us again tomorrow!
Azure AD tenant comes with security default settings. You will have to disable this setting in the active directory.
Active directory > properties > Manage security defaults > toggle to No
this will disable the default MFA setup.
when an app is registered in azure ad, to give permission to the app, we can grant consent to an application's delegated permissions on behalf of all the users in your tenant by clinking "Grant Permissions" button. How to undo this permission once it is given? Or, it can't be undo from azure portal once it is clicked? I am confused as it is always of same color and always ask "Do you want to grant...." dialog and "No" doesn't undo the action.
Revoking Tenant Wide Consent can be done through the Azure Portal.
See here: Revoking Consent for Azure Active Directory Applications
Using the Azure Portal to Remove Tenant Wide Consent
If you are a tenant administrator, and you want to revoke consent for
an application across your entire tenant, you can go to the Azure
Portal. Whether it be for a bunch of users who individually consented
or for an admin who consented on behalf of all the users, by simply
deleting the application’s service principal, you will remove all
delegation entries (the object used to store consent) for that
application. Think about removing the service principal like
uninstalling the application from your tenant.
You could delete the service principal a bunch of different ways like
through Azure Active Directory PowerShell or through the Microsoft
Graph API, but the easiest way for the average administrator is right
through the Azure Portal.
Navigate to the Enterprise Applications blade in the Azure portal:
Then click “All Applications” and search for the application you want
to revoke consent for:
When you click the application, you will be brought to an “Overview”
section, where a tempting button called “Delete” will be at the top.
Before you click this button, you might want to take a peak at the
“Permissions” section to see the types of consent that was granted to
this application:
Once you feel confident that you want to delete this application, go
back to “Overview” and click “Delete”!
Viola! The app and all consent associated with that app is now gone.
There are some screenshots included in the actual blog post.
I hope this helps!
As #Shwan Tabrizi said, you can refer to the blog's way to remove the app from Enterprise Application.Because once you click Grant Permissions bottom, the app will be auto added into Enterprise applications and assign permissions to user. You can also choose which user to remove permission as following steps:
1.Sign in to the Azure portal with an account that's a global admin for the directory.
2.Select More services, enter Azure Active Directory in the text box, and then select Enter.
3.On the Azure Active Directory - directoryname blade (that is, the Azure AD blade for the directory you are managing), select Enterprise
applications.
4.On the Enterprise applications blade, select All applications. You'll see a list of the apps you can manage.
5.On the Enterprise applications - All applications blade, select an app.
6.On the appname blade (that is, the blade with the name of the selected app in the title), select Users & Groups.
7.On the appname - User & Group Assignment blade, select one of more users or groups and then select the Remove command. Confirm your
decision at the prompt.
