Unable to update user settings for Default Directory in Microsoft Entra admin center

Question

We have a requirement to disable "Stay signed in" pop-up when Users login to Azure. From some help articles I found our that this can be disabled by turning off the "Show keep user signed in" option under User settings in Microsoft Entra admin center:

To do this change, I have assigned my User with Elevated Access in the Azure Portal:

However, when I login to the Microsoft Entra admin center and try to turn off the Show keep user signed in option, I am getting below error which says "Failed to update user settings for Default Directory":

Please let me know what else do I need to change to be able to Save this configuration in Entra admin center.

Hi @irfan.shaikh

Thank you for posting this in Microsoft Q&A.

I understand you are trying to disable "Stay signed in" pop up under user settings for Default Directory in Microsoft Entra admin center but you are encountering error "Failed to update".

To Configure the 'keep me signed in' (KMSI) option requires one of the following licenses:

• Microsoft Entra ID P1 or P2
• Office 365 (for Office apps)
• Microsoft 365

You must have the Global Administrator role to enable the 'Stay signed in?' prompt.

Could you please confirm whether you have required permissions and license available.
