This means when a user scans their card, they will be prompted to enter the PIN type associated with their authentication set and will not be prompted to enter their PIN again for the grace period’s set amount of time. ### Step 1 - Setting Up The Policy 1. In your MFA Admin Portal, go to the *Policies* tab. 2. Select *View All Policies* on the left-hand side. 3. Next to the corresponding policy you wish to modify: Click *Edit*. ![rba 1 - edit policy](https://cdn.document360.io/cf888ab6-47bb-4aaa-984b-26a47cdccf46/Images/Documentation/rba%201%20-%20edit%20policy.png) 4. The policy will open up directly to the *Logon* tab - where we will need to be. There’s seven available options pertaining to RBA, but the bottom two are the only ones necessary for this configuration. Check the boxes to the following options and set the grace period’s window of time. ![rba 2 - mod](https://cdn.document360.io/cf888ab6-47bb-4aaa-984b-26a47cdccf46/Images/Documentation/rba%202%20-%20mod.png) --- ### Step 2 - Configure The RBA Pin Policy 1. Click over to the *Methods* tab. 2. On the left-hand side, select your authentication method of which you will be creating or modifying PIN policies (in this example we will be using the Contactless Card method). 3. A new list underneath your method will appear. Select *PIN Policies*. 4. This example already has a custom PIN policy created. Next to your policy, click *Edit*. ![rba 1 - edit policy.png](https://cdn.document360.io/cf888ab6-47bb-4aaa-984b-26a47cdccf46/Images/Documentation/rba%201%20-%20edit%20policy%281%29.png) 5. Regardless of your policy requirements, be sure that the Risk-Based PIN option is checked. Click Save. ![rba 2 - edit rba.png](https://cdn.document360.io/cf888ab6-47bb-4aaa-984b-26a47cdccf46/Images/Documentation/rba%202%20-%20edit%20rba.png) 6. Return to the *Profile List* back on the left-hand side. 7. Next to a previously created or pre-existing PIN profile, select *Edit*. ![rba 3 - edit profile.png](https://cdn.document360.io/cf888ab6-47bb-4aaa-984b-26a47cdccf46/Images/Documentation/rba%203%20-%20edit%20profile.png) 8. In the drop-down box for *PIN Policy Name*, select your RBA PIN Policy. Click Save. ![rba 4 - attach to set.png](https://cdn.document360.io/cf888ab6-47bb-4aaa-984b-26a47cdccf46/Images/Documentation/rba%204%20-%20attach%20to%20set.png) --- ### Step 3 - Applying The Policy To The Auth Set 1. Go to the *Sets* tab. 2. Next to your current authentication set or newly created set, click *Edit*. ![rba 1 - edit set.png](https://cdn.document360.io/cf888ab6-47bb-4aaa-984b-26a47cdccf46/Images/Documentation/rba%201%20-%20edit%20set.png) 3. In the new pop-up window, click *Edit Profiles…* in the bottom right-hand corner. ![rba 2 - edit auth set.png](https://cdn.document360.io/cf888ab6-47bb-4aaa-984b-26a47cdccf46/Images/Documentation/rba%202%20-%20edit%20auth%20set.png) 4. Under the authentication method the RBA PIN was created for, use the drop-down box to select your new PIN Profile. Click *Save*. ![rba 3 - edit auth set profiles.png](https://cdn.document360.io/cf888ab6-47bb-4aaa-984b-26a47cdccf46/Images/Documentation/rba%203%20-%20edit%20auth%20set%20profiles%281%29.png) 5. Apply this authentication set to your user(s) if it isn’t already. If the authentication set is already in place, the change will not immediately take effect until the user and computer can synchronize with the server again. You can speed this process up by manually opening their user, changing their auth set then flipping it back to the correct set. ![rba 4 - pick set.png](https://cdn.document360.io/cf888ab6-47bb-4aaa-984b-26a47cdccf46/Images/Documentation/rba%204%20-%20pick%20set.png) ![rba 4 - pick set2.png](https://cdn.document360.io/cf888ab6-47bb-4aaa-984b-26a47cdccf46/Images/Documentation/rba%204%20-%20pick%20set2.png)
