Requiring your team members to use multi-factor authentication on CloudCannon can add an extra layer of security to your Organization.

Only members of the Owners Permission Group can enforce multi-factor authentication for an Organization.

A screenshot of the Multi-factor Authentication page shows a checkbox and date field for enforcing MFA.

To enforce multi-factor authentication for your CloudCannon Organization:

  1. Log in to CloudCannon.
  2. Navigate to the Multi-factor Authentication page under Org Settings.
  3. Check the Require multi-factor authentication (MFA) check box.
  4. Enter the date after which CloudCannon will require multi-factor authentication to view your Organization.
  5. Click the Update button.

After the specified date, CloudCannon will require team members in your Organization to have multi-factor authentication enabled to view your Organization and Sites. You can update the date and disable enforced multi-factor authentication at any time.

As the date approaches, your team members will see a warning banner, informing them that your Organization will soon require multi-factor authentication.

If a team member has not enabled multi-factor authentication before that date, they can log in to CloudCannon but cannot access your Organization.

A screenshot of the Organizations page shows that access to an Organization is prevented because MFA is required.
A screenshot of the MFA Required page shows that you cannot access an Organization until you enable MFA for your account.

A team member can restore access to your Organization by enabling multi-factor authentication on their CloudCannon account.

You can view which team members have multi-factor authentication enabled on the Team page under Org Settings.
