Review the scripts under powershell/UserManagement/Microsoft.PowerPlatform.Administration.UserManagement and the referenced Connect-AzureAD documentation first. Determine whether the sample supports MFA and document the supported authentication path or limitation, with completion marked by clear usage guidance for organizations requiring MFA.

Description

PowerShell

How to use multi-factor authentication using the Microsoft.PowerPlatform.Administration.UserManagement powershell scripts? Many organizations mandate the use of Multi-Factor auth, especially for priviliged roles (such as what this script requires)

The documentation for the Connect-AzureAD module states that MFA can't be used with the Connect-AzureAD method been used in the script

PS C:\> Connect-AzureAD -Credential $Credential
The first command gets the user credentials, and then stores them in the $Credential variable.

The second command connects the current PowerShell session using the credentials in $Credential.

This account authenticates with Azure Active Directory using organizational ID credentials. You cannot use multi-factor authentication or Microsoft account credentials to run Azure Active Directory cmdlets with this account.```
