Conditional access is the Microsoft Entra ID feature that decides whether to allow, block or require an extra step at sign-in based on context: who the user is, what device they are on, where they are signing in from and how risky the sign-in looks. For example, it can require MFA outside the office or block devices the company does not manage.
