How to Fix: conditional access blocking sign in

Accordion runbook sections

  1. 1

    Confirm scope, user impact, and reproduction

    Info
    v

    Document whether the issue affects one user, multiple users, or multiple devices. Confirm exact error messages, recent changes (password reset, update, network change), and whether the same issue reproduces in web vs desktop workflows where applicable.

  2. 2

    Validate prerequisites and application/session state

    Info
    v

    Confirm the user is signed in with the correct corporate account, system time is accurate, network/VPN connectivity is stable, and the application is not running in offline or limited mode.

  3. 3

    Run safe diagnostics from the Commands section

    Command
    v

    Use the command snippets below to collect non-destructive diagnostics. Capture output in the ticket when escalation may be required. Avoid deleting profiles, cached credentials, or managed app data unless the runbook or admin approval explicitly allows it.

  4. 4

    Apply safe remediation steps

    Info
    v
    • Reproduce in a clean/private browser session to isolate profile/extension issues.
    • Review enterprise browser policies and privacy settings for Figma domains.
    • Test with extensions disabled only within approved support workflow.
    • Document the affected browser version/profile and policy context for escalation.
  5. 5

    Escalate when access, policy, or security controls are involved

    WarningAdmin required
    v
    • Browser policies need adjustment by endpoint/browser management.
    • SSO and cookie restrictions break access for multiple Figma users.
    • Users request insecure browser exceptions beyond policy guidance.
