Risky Users Block Action

  1. Navigate to the Risky Users – Azure Active Directory portal, locate and select a desired risky user from the list.
  2. From the Risky User Details flyout, select the Block user action. This will prevent the user account from being able to successfully authenticate during sign-in prompts or the ability to complete MFA prompts.
  3. If the action has been successfully executed, a notification will be displayed showing that the user account has been blocked, and the Block user action will be replaced with the Unblock user action.
