# Create custom roles for managing cross-tenant access settings

Your organization can [define custom roles](/entra/identity/role-based-access-control/custom-create) to manage cross-tenant access settings. These roles allow for precise control without relying on built-in management roles. This article provides guidance on creating recommended custom roles for managing cross-tenant access settings.

## Assign a role with restricted scope

For certain roles, the scope of the granted permissions can be restricted to a single admin unit, service principal, or application. This procedure is an example if assigning a role that has the scope of an administrative unit. For a list of roles that support scope via administrative unit, see [Assign scoped roles to an administrative unit](~/identity/role-based-access-control/admin-units-assign-roles.md).

# Improve accessibility with multifactor authentication in Microsoft Entra ID

As cybersecurity threats evolve, multifactor authentication (MFA) has become a cornerstone of secure digital identity. Microsoft Entra ID offers a range of MFA methods designed not only for robust security but also to cater to diverse user needs, including those with accessibility constraints. Here's a closer look at how these MFA options enhance accessibility and inclusivity.

## FIDO2 security keys

FIDO2 security keys are physical devices that offer a highly accessible and secure MFA option. These hardware keys support biometric authentication (such as fingerprint scans) or PINs, making them ideal for users who may find traditional passwords or other authentication methods challenging. FIDO2 keys are particularly beneficial for users with physical disabilities who may have difficulty typing complex passwords.
