AADSTS53003

BlockedByConditionalAccess

What it means

Access was blocked by a Conditional Access policy.

How to fix it

Open the sign-in log entry's Conditional Access tab to find the blocking policy, then use What If to test.

How to investigate

  1. Open the failed sign-in in the Entra admin center and select the Conditional Access tab. It lists every policy that applied and which one failed.
  2. Check the Device info tab: whether the device is registered, compliant and managed.
  3. Use What If in Conditional Access with the same user, app and device platform to reproduce the decision.
  4. Search the sign-in logs for the request ID or correlation ID from the troubleshooting details on the error page.
