hi team, what if a user's MFA status is "disabled" however in the PIM role setting, the activation is set to "required MFA". what will happen when the user is trying to activate the eligible assignment.

    PIM takes precedence and will override any other MFA settings, so that is expected behavior. Enabled/enforced/disabled doesn't matter to any of the Azure AD features since it's intended for per-user MFA.
