### Multiple changes to identity recommendations
26+
27+
There have been changes to Defender for Cloud's multiple recommendations for improving the management of users and accounts.
28+
29+
#### New recommendations
30+
31+
The new release contains the following capabilities:
32+
33+
- **Extended evaluation scope** – Coverage has been improved for identity accounts without MFA and external accounts on Azure resources (instead of subscriptions only) which allows your security administrators to view role assignments per account.
34+
35+
- **Improved freshness interval** - The identity recommendations now have a freshness interval of 12 hours.
36+
37+
- **Account exemption capability** - Defender for Cloud has many features you can use to customize your experience and ensure that your secure score reflects your organization's security priorities. For example, you can [exempt resources and recommendations from your secure score](exempt-resource.md).
38+
39+
This update allows you to exempt specific accounts from evaluation with the six recommendations listed in the following table.
40+
41+
Typically, you'd exempt emergency “break glass” accounts from MFA recommendations, because such accounts are often deliberately excluded from an organization's MFA requirements. Alternatively, you might have external accounts that you'd like to permit access to but which don't have MFA enabled.
42+
43+
> [!TIP]

> When you exempt an account, it won't be shown as unhealthy and also won't cause a subscription to appear unhealthy.
