A Conditional Access policy denies access for the observed sign-in context.

Likely causes

  • No-compliant device
  • Disallowed country or IP
  • Legacy client
  • Risk or targeted application

Checks in priority order

  1. Open Sign-in logs
  2. Read the Conditional Access result
  3. Identify the blocking policy
  4. Fix the condition instead of disabling the policy

When to escalate

Escalate when the failure affects multiple users, a production dependency is unavailable, or logs show a component outside your control. Include timestamps, scope, tests already performed, and the last known working state.
