Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Read the properties of a user's authentication states. Use this API to retrieve the following information:

A user's signInPreferences (system-preferred MFA)
A user's strongAuthenticationRequirements (per-user MFA)

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permissions to read system-preferred MFA

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	UserAuthenticationMethod.Read	UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	UserAuthenticationMethod.Read	UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite

Important

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts where the signed-in user is acting on another user, they must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. The following least privileged roles are supported for this operation.

Global Reader
Authentication Administrator
Privileged Authentication Administrator

Permissions to read per-user MFA state

Permissions acting on self

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	Policy.Read.All	Policy.ReadWrite.AuthenticationMethod
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	Not supported.	Not supported.

Permissions acting on others

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	Policy.Read.All	Policy.ReadWrite.AuthenticationMethod
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	Policy.Read.All	Policy.ReadWrite.AuthenticationMethod

Important

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the signed-in user must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. The following least privileged roles are supported for this operation.

Global Reader
Authentication Policy Administrator

Examples

Example 1: Get a user's system-preferred MFA method

Request

The following example shows a request.

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/users/071cc716-8147-4397-a5ba-b2105951cc0b/authentication/signInPreferences

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.
