Delegate permissions for managing MFA
To be able to delegate the permission of administering user account MFA setting like enable/disabled forcing reset of MFA code etc.
Currently the Global Admin permission is needed. It would be able very useful to delegate this to a service desk function without having to provide full admin access to the tenant.

We have heard the feedback and we’ve added it to our upcoming investments. While we do not have a date for this yet, we hope to be able to provide one soon. Thank you for the continued feedback.

This is a critical security feature for our customers and the inability for our engineers to manage the requests is incredibly inhibiting.

Please let user with role of helpdesk administrator be able to manage MFA. Microsoft can set it up that any MFA change by helpdesk administrator will trigger an email to be sent to global administrator for review. GA can't handle all requests accross the world for multiple country wide corperations.

Last update "In the Plans" was over a year ago?
MFA is essential & having it only via Global Admin is not acceptable.

We have 5,000+ users using the 365. We need this rights delegable to MFA authenticator.

We would like to kindly ask to have this feature implemented by Microsoft on Microsoft Azure AD, as this would surely help us during our day-to-day work and in turn, allow us to provide a much more efficient and valuable Service to the End-User.

We have a userbase of 2K users and delegated access is extremely important to us, as Service Desk cannot be granted Admin access.

Any update on this request yet? Really need to give HD access to MultiFactor without giving Global Admin Rights.

Hi
Its been 3 years now for this request , Hope it will be implemented soon, ( My suggestion is to change the sentence at least on info of Authentication Admin so that the global admins can get a clear picture regarding this whenever they assign a role to someone ) -

It had been on for over 3 years since requested, and nearly a year in plans, hopefully this will be done soon, as MFA is essential & having it only via Global Admin is not acceptable.

This really does need resolving please - Global Admin just isn’t appropriate for day to day admin tasks. Thanks
