# What are protected actions in Azure AD?
2016

2117
Protected actions in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) are permissions that have been assigned [Conditional Access policies](../conditional-access/overview.md). When a user attempts to perform a protected action, they must first satisfy the Conditional Access policies assigned to the required permissions. For example, to allow administrators to update Conditional Access policies, you can require that they first satisfy the [Phishing-resistant MFA](../authentication/concept-authentication-strengths.md#built-in-authentication-strengths) policy.
