# Manage prompted auto-turn on MFA for your workspace

{% hint style="info" %}
**Who can use this feature?**

* Workspace **Owners**, **Super Admins**, and **Admins**
* Supported using the **Cerby web app**
  {% endhint %}

As a workspace **Owner**, **Super Admin**, or **Admin**, you can control whether Cerby prompts users to auto-turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA) for specific [managed apps](https://help.cerby.com/getting-started/concepts/credential-management/accounts#managed-accounts).

By default, this feature is activated for all workspaces and for all managed apps that support the corresponding automated task. Therefore, when any user performs a successful automated login to a supported app, the Cerby browser extension prompts them to auto-turn on MFA.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**IMPORTANT:** [Service accounts](https://help.cerby.com/setup-and-admin/business-hubs/connecting-your-apps/create-a-service-account-for-your-business-hub) connected to business hubs are excluded from auto-turn on MFA.
{% endhint %}

You can activate or deactivate this feature for one or all apps using the Cerby web app. The following are the available actions:

* [Activate prompted auto-turn on MFA for an app](#activate-prompted-auto-turn-on-mfa-for-an-app)
* [Deactivate prompted auto-turn on MFA for an app](#deactivate-prompted-auto-turn-on-mfa-for-an-app)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.cerby.com/setup-and-admin/workspace-settings/extension-settings/prompted-mfa/manage-prompted-auto-turn-on-mfa-for-your-workspace.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
