    Article summary

    While Shared Workstations can be used for multiple users on the same device, it can also be used for a more controlled way of enforcing multi-factor for a single user that does not need to share. In this scenario, the following configurations will only prompt for the active username, disallowing any other users to log in at the Shared Workstation screen.

    Examples

    Typical Shared Workstation View
    same user ws 2 - select tile.png

    When selecting a login method, you are able to use the username dropdown or type your username.

    Single-User Shared Workstation View
    same user ws 3 - login.png

    The dropdown box is removed and the username that logged in at the Windows lock screen is the only one to appear and the client will only authenticate that user.

    Required Settings

    For the "Single-User Shared Workstation" mode, the only 2 settings that you need are in the MFA policy under the Shared Workstation tab:

    SettingValue
    Shared WorkstationEnabled
    Enforce 2-Step AuthenticationEnabled
