Use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) with ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú to secure access to your organization’s Admin Portal. Read this article to learn how to enable MFA for administrators.
Prerequisites:
- Obtain an application to generate TOTP tokens. See Set Up Authenticator App for User Account.
Considerations:
- An admin with the Administrator with Billing role can enable MFA for themself.
- An admin with the Administrator role cannot enable MFA for an admin with the Administrator with Billing role.
- The ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú MFA requirement is not applicable when administrators use Sign in with Google for login. In such cases, the MFA configured on the Google account will apply.
Enabling MFA for the Administrator
ºÚÁϺ£½Ç91Èë¿Ú now requires MFA for all admins. The non-editable Global MFA Requirement setting can be viewed in the Admin Portal under Settings > Security > Admin Accounts.
Viewing Enrollment Requirements and Enrollment Status
View at-a-glance information on the MFA health of all admins in your org in Settings > Administrators. The administrators list shows two relevant columns for MFA - MFA: Requirement and MFA: Enrollment.
For MFA: Requirement, possible statuses are:
- Required: Admin is required to use MFA
- Not Required: Admin is not required to use MFA
For MFA: Enrolled, possible statuses are:
- Enrolled: Admin has taken a step to enroll in MFA.
- Not Enrolled: Admin has not yet taken a step to enroll in MFA.
Monitoring Enrollment Status
The Admins Without MFA Required widget on the Admin Portal Home page shows how many Admins in your org do not have MFA required for Admin Portal login. Click the tile to view a list of the Admins without MFA required. From the list view, you can take the bulk action of enforcing MFA for some or all of the Admins listed.
Administrator roles determine who will be able to see and interact with this widget:
- Administrator with Billing - Can see the widget and can take action on the list
- Administrator Only, Help Desk, Manager, Read Only - Can see the widget but cannot take action on the list
- Billing Only - Cannot see the Home page
- Command Runner, Command Runner with Billing - Can see the Home page but cannot see this widget
See Admin Portal Roles for more information on roles.

Resetting or Enrolling in MFA as an Admin
