Multi-factor administration - (RSM admin users)
- Kelly Collins
RSM admin users can set up MFA for individual users for a client they are associated with. You can also set up MFA at a client level, so all users associated with the client will use MFA. You will also be able to reset authentication for individual users.
To apply MFA to your own account, please go to multi-factor authentication (RSM users).
