Enroll to multifactor authentication

After a BI Gateway role is assigned, you will receive an invitation email from the BI Gateway Azure AD. After you accept the invitation email, you must complete the Multifactor Authentication (MFA) enrollment.

Multifactor Authentication is an authentication method that requires the user to provide two or more verification factors to access a resource. Multifactor Authentication improves the overall security of your data.

For more information about Multifactor Authentication, see the Microsoft Azure documentation.
