These settings control the system-wide risk-based authentication (RBA) restrictions applied to users of your Identity as a Service account. If a system-wide RBA setting conflicts with a user-specific RBA setting, the user-specific setting overrides the system-wide setting (see Manage user risk-based authentication settings).
The system-wide RBA settings contain default values. They can be modified as required.
