At Samsara, security is a top priority. To enhance security, Samsara enforces Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for administrative users. This requirement applies to users with highly privileged access, including those assigned default system roles and custom roles that grant equivalent levels of administrative control (e.g., permissions to manage users, roles, billing, or security settings).
MFA is a security method requiring users to verify their identity using at least two factors before accessing their accounts. Typically, one factor is something the user knows (such as a password), and another is something the user has (such as an email verification code). Enforcing MFA significantly mitigates risks related to unauthorized access, phishing attacks, and credential theft.
This change applies to all users with highly privileged access, including:
-
Users assigned pre-built system roles such as Full Admin, Standard Admin, Read-Only Admin, and Organizational Admin in organizations that do not use SSO.
-
Users in custom roles that provide elevated access permissions—such as those managing users, roles, billing, or security settings.
Key changes include:
-
The option to enable or disable MFA for affected administrative users will be removed.
-
MFA will be automatically enforced, requiring users to complete authentication at login.
Organizations may also proactively configure MFA for other user roles through their security settings.
