To deploy Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for only the members of the Sg-Finance group, excluding Debra Berger, and without using a Conditional Access policy, you can follow these steps:
Open the Microsoft Entra admin center:
Sign in as a Security Administrator or Global Administrator.
Navigate to MFA settings:
Go to Users > Active users.
On the Active users page, select Multi-factor authentication.
Manage user settings:
Find and select the Sg-Finance group.
Enable MFA for this group by setting the requirement status to Enabled.
Exclude a user from MFA:
In the Multi-factor authentication page, search for Debra Berger.
Set her MFA status to Disabled to exclude her from MFA registration.
Verify the configuration:
Ensure that all members of the Sg-Finance group have MFA enabled except for Debra Berger.
Communicate the change:
Inform the Sg-Finance group members about the MFA requirement and provide instructions on how to register for MFA.
Monitor the setup:
Check the sign-in logs to confirm that MFA is being prompted for the Sg-Finance group members and not for Debra Berger.
