Use adaptive policies to determine which users must use two-step multi-factor (MFA)
verification.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: adaptive_auth_admin  
Hinweis:  
* If the default policy is Step-Up MFA Policy, users will be shown with Multi-factor Authentication if policy configured in Step-Up MFA Policy evaluates to true. Policy takes precedence over the user or role based configuration.
* MFA with SSO login will only be available if <kbd class="ph userinput">glide.authenticate.mfa.with.multisso.enabled</kbd> Property is set to true.
* You can navigate to the Authentication Policy record to Add or Edit the 'Policy Input(s)' to the referenced Policy field (Step-Up MFA Policy or Step-Down MFA Policy).
