    • Allow: Allows the action to proceed.
    • Allow_MFA: Allows the action but requires an additional MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication).
    • Deny: Denies the action.
  8. You can also define If conditions for each control. These conditions determine whether the default action or a different action should be taken based on predefined conditions. You can choose from a list of pre-defined conditions.
