Azure: User not having access rights to the Azure AD conditional access

Environment details:

·         Tenant Id: ****0-33c2d-1318-****-1agdq71a2462

·         Tenant Initial Domain Name: blogger365.onmicrosoft.com

·         Affected user: testuser@blogger365.onmicrosoft.com (134***-1**-1356-31f1-689s3***1h)

·         Error message:
'No Access'
sessionid: 1fewh22c****8ee51a52199501b
ResourceID: not available
Extension: Microsoft_AAD_IAM
Content: PoliciesTemplateBlade
Error Code: 403

Cause
The user testuser@blogger365.onmicrosoft.com (test example) does not have any Azure AD Admin roles assigned.

From documentation, we can see that the least privileged role necessary to access the Conditional Access settings is the Conditional Access administrator role.

Conditional Access | Least-privileged roles by task - Azure Active Directory | Microsoft Docs

Resolution
In order to provide access to the Azure AD Conditional Access you will need to assign your user with one of the following roles, according to the necessary permissions that you require this user to have:

Roles with permissions to write:

·         Conditional Access Administrator

·         Security Administrator

·         Global Administrator

Roles with permissions to read:

·         Security Reader

·         Global Reader

In order to assign the user with permissions to manage the Azure AD Conditional Access you needed to assign the user with the Conditional Access Administrator.

Since you are enrolled in the Azure PIM for role management, you needed to make sure that the assigned role was in the Activated state, as the Eligible state “only” provides the user with the ability of requesting the activation of the role from a Global Administrator or a Privileged Role Administrator.

(If you have been made eligible for an administrative role, then you must activate the role assignment when you need to perform privileged actions. From Activate my Azure AD roles in PIM - Azure Active Directory | Microsoft Docs )

After we activated the role, the user was then able to access the necessary resources.

Additionally, we had the following settings activated for your Azure AD:

The above setting (which is also regarded as a best practice) prevents users that do not have any Administrator role from accessing the Azure AD through the Azure Portal.

If you wish to allow all the non-admin users to access the Azure AD using the Portal, it would be important to discuss internally the requirement of this setting.

Review/ Change Logon Server and Correct Erroneous Time

Change your logon server on your PC

1. open CMD in elevated mode.

 

C:\Users\rinith> echo %logonserver%

result (before change):

\\adc-dhcp

syntax: set logonserver=//servername

this sets the new logon server (pref. PDC)

C:\Users\rinith> set logonserver=//pdc2020

check the logon server again...

C:\Users\rinith> echo %logonserver%

result:

//pdc2020

  

Change Client Node Time and sync to the DC

c:>time

c:>echo %logonserver%

result: 

\\pdc2020

Set time as that of you logon server

c:>net time %logonserver% /set /y

this will update the client time same as that of domain controller time

c:>time

corrected time displays

Samsung Galaxy device Crashing Apps?

This happened to me on 24^th March 2021. When I opened my navigation WAZE app and Outlook app, at first glance I was pondering why they closed abruptly and thought what went wrong. A quick investigation made me realize that a lot of Galaxy smartphone and tablet users as well were complaining about apps crashing on their devices. This issue is not just limited to Samsung’s devices. It is a widespread issue that is affecting a lot of Android users globally since 24^th of March 2021. 

If you are one among them, then you are at the right blog with a remediation plan and fix those app crashes using a simple solution.

Don't worry, it took less than 5 mins. for me to fix my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Android phone.

The issue is related to a system component called Android System WebView. Google released a buggy update to the component via the Play Store, which resulted in app crashes for many users. If you are facing the same issue on your Samsung Galaxy smartphone or tablet, you should try to check the Play Store and update the Android System WebView app (version 89.0.04389.105).

If you can’t spot the update, you can fix it by uninstalling the latest update to the Android System WebView. You can navigate to Settings » Apps >> Android System WebView and tap on it and uninstall updates.

If you are on a device running Android 9, you can do the following:

1. Navigate to Settings » Apps
2. Tap on the three dots on the top right corner of the screen.
3. Now tap on Show system apps.
4. Now find Android System WebView and tap on it.
5. Now select Uninstall updates.

Alternatively, you can also try to uninstall the update to Android System WebView directly from the Play Store.
