How to Disable Microsoft 365 Security Defaults for One User

If you're finding it challenging to disable security defaults for one user, this guide can help make the process simpler and more manageable. Disabling the default security settings for all users within an access policy is possible, but you may want to refine that measure to just one user if necessary.

One of the advantages of using an access policy is that you can be more specific with your policies, which isn't always achievable with the default settings. When this policy is applied, all default security measures will be lifted. To ensure a successful outcome, it's essential to follow each step illustrated below.

To disable security defaults for one user, you'll need to create a conditional access policy. This can be done by following these steps:

1. Go to the 'Sessions' section and select 'Use conditional Access App Control.'

2. Select the top three options (also highlighted visually).

3. Set 'Access control' to 'Grant access.'

4. Set the 'Conditions' to your preferred 'Device platforms' or 'Locations.'

5. Select a user you want to disable security defaults for.

6. Click on 'New policy' followed by 'Create new policy.'

7. In the Azure admin center, click on 'All services' and then 'Admin centers.'

8. Click on 'Azure Active Directory' and select the launcher.

9. Once in the Azure portal, go to 'Conditional Access' and create a new policy.

When you disable security defaults for one user, remember that default security measures such as MFA or device regulation policy defaults will be lifted. You can achieve this by using Azure AD, which is located within the admin portal of Office 365.

For instance, if you want to disable security defaults for a single user, you may not need to cover all users within an access policy. In this case, you can follow the steps outlined above and refine your measures to just one user.

In conclusion, disabling Microsoft 365 security defaults for one user is possible with the help of Azure AD. By following these simple steps, you'll be able to create a conditional access policy that disables security defaults for the user you have selected.
