Template family: Conditional Access
Applies to: Microsoft Entra ID
Where to find it: Secure → Conditional Access → Templates → Augmentt Default
What this template is for
Accounts that are assigned privileged administrative roles are frequent targets of attackers. Requiring phishing-resistant multifactor authentication (MFA) on those accounts is an easy way to reduce the risk of those accounts being compromised.

What it actually does
Who it covers. Users holding any of 15 administrative roles, when they sign in to all cloud apps.
Who is excluded. Service-provider (GDAP) guest accounts are excluded automatically, so your own technicians keep access if the policy misfires.
What it enforces. Entra ID will require phishing-resistant MFA strength.
Session controls. For sessions allowed through, it forces reauthentication on every sign-in.
Deployment state. Report-only.
Augmentt deploys this template in report-only mode. Entra ID evaluates every sign-in and records what would have happened in the sign-in logs, but nothing is blocked or challenged until you switch the policy to On. Review the report-only results before enforcing.
