Deployment Guide

Configure Console Settings
Default settings allow administrators and users to use advanced authentication immediately after activation, without additional
configuration. Users are automatically added as advanced authentication users when they log on to the computer with their
Windows passwords but, by default, multi-factor Windows authentication is not enabled.
To configure advanced authentication features, you must be an administrator on the computer.

4. Click the Administrator Settings tab.
