Required permission: * View Role * Edit Role 1. Log in to your account using your existing credentials. 2. Navigate to the **Setting** menu, then click the **Permission** tab. 3. Select the role you want to enable MFA for (e.g., Admin). 4. Scroll down to the **Multi-factor authentication** section under **Advanced**. 5. Toggle on **Multi-factor authentication by Cloud-based Authenticator**. 6. Save your changes.
