With a group, you can configure permissions all at once. FREE ACCESS
• 7.  Configuring Azure MFA
  5m 32s
  In this video, you'll watch a demo about multi-factor authentication, or MFA, which enhances user sign in security.

• 8.  Configuring Azure Conditional Access
  3m 1s
  In this video, you'll watch a demo on Azure AD Conditional Access Policies. You'll learn these allow you to specify conditions that must be met before allowing access to a resource related to Azure AD. To get started, you'll click on Azure Active Directory in the portal. You'll open up the navigation bar and scroll to Security. When you click on Security, you'll see Conditional Access. Clicking here, you'll see baseline default policies. FREE ACCESS
• 9.  Configuring Azure Single Sign-On
  5m 18s
  In this video, you'll watch a demo on Single Sign-On, or SSO. You'll learn this means users can sign-on once initially with their credentials. After this, when they access resources like apps they're assigned to in Azure AD, they won't be prompted again for their credentials. However, for this to work, you must add the app in Azure AD, assign users to it, and configure it for single sign-on authorization. FREE ACCESS
