Background

Mio's ability to translate messages across platforms relies on the access to refresh and generate certain tokens within your organization.

When a CAP is configured that blocks Mio from accessing tokens, admins will receive a warning message from the Mio bot. It looks like this:

Microsoft Teams

Slack

Webex

Zoom Chat

In this article, we clarify several CAP configurations that block Mio from being able to access tokens and cause admins to receive this message. If your organization has configured any of these settings, please proceed with the included steps to exclude Mio from your Conditional Access Policy.


Problematic CAP access controls

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

When a MFA policy is configured, Mio cannot refresh tokens.

Sign-in frequency

When a sign-in frequency setting is configured, Mio cannot refresh certain tokens used for Microsoft Teams guest accounts.

Blocking "Grant" or Session" access

When a CAP is configured that blocks "Grant" or "Session" access and has conditions that block Mio, Mio cannot issue or generate tokens.

If your organization has configured any of these CAPs, complete the following steps to exclude Mio.

Note: There may be additional CAP configurations that require Mio to be excluded.
