Use of the extra-verification step provided by multi-factor authentication should be measured against the level of access for a specific user class and the business value of the resources managed by MOVEit Transfer.

Allow Multi-Factor Authentication. Click to enable the full set of administrator controls.

Importante: After you enable MFA, you must select at least one method of verification for your users.

Determine if Users are Required, Exempted, or able to Self-Opt for MFA

You can require multi-factor authentication by each registered user class. You can also exempt users individually.

  • Require. Select a user class checkbox on the Enforce Multi-Factor Authentication panel. SETTINGS > Security Policies > User Auth > Multi-Factor Authentication
  • Exempt. Edit individual user profile to exempt user from a required policy. USERS > username > User Profile - User Settings - User Authentication - Multi-Factor Authentication
  • Allow one or More User Classes to Self-Opt. Select a method of verification but leave checkboxes blank on the Enforce Multi-Factor Authentication panel.
Nota: It is best practice to notify users of any security policies that alter the sequence of steps or information needed at sign on before you apply these controls.
