Require Compliant Devices for Admin Access

Conditional Access control for Microsoft 365 and Entra ID

Why This Control Matters

  • 1A Conditional Access policy requires compliant or Entra hybrid-joined devices for admin portals
  • 2Policy targets Microsoft Admin Portals app or specific admin URLs
  • 3Unmanaged personal devices cannot access admin functions
