Azure AD with Multi Factor Authentication

With the MFA method, depending on the set up of your Azure AD, you may be presented with this pop-up dialog:

 

Your IT admin must give consent in order to allow you access to the database.  Consent is required once for the organization.

 

Here is the description of the process:

1. Here is an overview of the process and a blog article.
2. Probably "user consent settings" are configured by your admins to "Do not allow user contest" for all apps or the user doesn't have enough permissions.
   That's why an admin confirmation is required to grant access to the Hackolade application.
3. Admins should review such requests, and can configure them in Admin consent settings.
   It's possible to select users or groups there and enable email notifications for requests.
4. When a user requests approval from an admin for an application, the admin may approve it using the link in an email notification or review a request in the admin consent requests UI.
5. The user should write a justification message and request approval from an admin, and the admin should review the request and allow access to the Hackolade app
