Artikel
10/22/2024

Namespace: microsoft.graph

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.

Update the properties of a user's authentication method states. Use this API to update 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 update system-preferred MFA

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

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.

Authentication Administrator
Privileged Authentication Administrator

Permissions to update per-user MFA state

Permissions acting on self

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

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. Authentication Policy Administrator is the least privileged role supported for this operation.

HTTP request

To update the sign-in preferences (system-preferred MFA) for a user:

PATCH /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/authentication/signInPreferences

To update the per-user multifactor authentication state for the signed-in user:

PATCH /me/authentication/requirements

To update the per-user multifactor authentication state for a user:

PATCH /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/authentication/requirements

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, supply only the values for properties to update. Existing properties that aren't included in the request body maintain their previous values or are recalculated based on changes to other property values.

The following table specifies the properties that can be updated.

Property	Type	Description
isSystemPreferredAuthenticationMethodEnabled	Boolean	Indicates whether the credential preferences of the system are enabled.
userPreferredMethodForSecondaryAuthentication	userDefaultAuthenticationMethodType	The default second-factor method used by the user when signing in. If a user is enabled for system-preferred authentication, then this value is ignored except for a few scenarios where a user is authenticating via NPS extension or ADFS adapter. Possible values are `push`, `oath`, `voiceMobile`, `voiceAlternateMobile`, `voiceOffice`, `sms`, and `unknownFutureValue`
perUserMfaState	perUserMfaState	The user's state for per-user multifactor authentication. Possible values are `enforced`, `enabled` and `disabled`.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 204 No Content response code.

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.
