    Thank you for your post!

    Unfortunately, the User Administrator role does not have permissions to manage MFA. For more info - User Administrator Built-in role

    If you'd like to manage MFA within your tenant, you can leverage the following roles:
    Authentication Administrator - Users with this role can set or reset any authentication method (including passwords) for non-administrators and some roles.
    Privileged Authentication Administrator - Users with this role can set or reset any authentication method (including passwords) for any user, including Global Administrators.
    Authentication Policy Administrator - Users with this role can configure the authentication methods policy, tenant-wide MFA settings, and password protection policy.

    Thank you for your time and patience throughout this issue.
