Conditional Access policy for Guest and External Accounts

On the Conditional Access Policy Page, Click on “+ New Policy”

On the new policy page, start by providing a name for the policy, for this example I will call it “Enable MFA for Guests”

Click on “Select users and groups” then select “All guest and external users”

On the second last part we need to specify if we want this to apply to a certain location. However, we want to make sure that guests from all locations are prompted for MFA. So on the “Conditions” section we will click on “Locations” and then toggle the switch the “Yes” and select “Any location”
