Azure AD Conditional Access Flow

This diagram illustrates the typical flow of Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Conditional Access policies. It outlines how conditions are evaluated to grant or deny access to cloud applications.

When a user attempts to access a cloud application, Azure AD evaluates the applicable Conditional Access policies. These policies consider various signals such as user identity, location, device state, application, and real-time risk. Based on the policy configuration and these signals, access is either granted, potentially with additional controls like multi-factor authentication (MFA) or device compliance, or denied.
