# Reset Mfa

### Description

Removes authenticator app and phone-based authentication methods for a user. This forces the user to re-enroll MFA methods after the reset. Optionally a notification email can be sent to the user informing them that their MFA methods have been reset through this runbook.

### Activate user notification

This runbook can optionally send a notification email to the target user informing them that their MFA methods were reset by an administrator. To enable this, you need to activate user notification in the runbook customization.

The json configuration for this is as follows:

```json
"rjgit-user_security_reset-mfa": {
    "parameters": {
        "UserName": {
            "Hide": true
        },
        "NotifyUser": {
            "Default": true,
            "Hide": true
        },
        "EmailFrom": {
            "Hide": true
        },
        "ServiceDeskDisplayName": {
            "Hide": true
        },
        "ServiceDeskEmail": {
            "Hide": true
        },
        "ServiceDeskPhone": {
            "Hide": true
        },
        "ServiceDeskPortalUrl": {
            "Hide": true
        },
        "ServiceDeskTicketUrl": {
            "Hide": true
        },
        "LanguageOverride": {
            "Hide": true
        },
        "CallerName": {
            "Hide": true
        }
    }
}
```

For more information on how to customize runbooks, please refer to the [Runbook Customization Guide](https://docs.realmjoin.com/automation/runbooks/runbook-customization).

### Setup regarding email sending

Sending a notification email is optional and only happens when `NotifyUser` is enabled. The sender address is taken from the `RJReport.EmailSender` tenant setting.

This runbook sends emails using the Microsoft Graph API. To send emails via Graph API, you need to configure an existing email address in the runbook customization.

See the [RealmJoin Report Settings documentation](https://docs.realmjoin.com/automation/runbooks/runbook-report-settings) for details.

#### Email branding

The report email honors the optional `RJReport.Branding.*` tenant settings: a custom header image, a custom footer image (public HTTPS URLs, PNG/JPEG/GIF, max. 200 KB each), a custom footer link, and custom accent and text colors (6-digit hex values, e.g. `#0052cc`). When these settings are not configured, the default RealmJoin graphics and colors are used. A branding image that cannot be downloaded or validated, or a color value that is not a valid hex color, never prevents the report email - the corresponding default is used instead.

See the [RealmJoin Report Settings documentation](https://docs.realmjoin.com/automation/runbooks/runbook-report-settings) for setup details.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.realmjoin.com/automation/runbooks/runbook-references/user/security/reset-mfa.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
