Bulk Multifactor Authentication Enrollment

Embodiments perform bulk multifactor authentication (MFA) enrollment in an identity cloud management system. An entity can be created in the identity cloud management system, where the entity is issued a credential that includes a permissions scope for communicating with the identity cloud management system. A bulk set of user identities and MFA enrollment information including MFA security factors for the user identities and a status for the user identities can be received in association with the credential, where the MFA security factors include a mix of communication addresses and shared secrets. A subset of the user identities that include a status that indicates MFA enrollment can be enrolled, where the enrolling includes creating an MFA footprint for the subset of user identities within an MFA database, and each created MFA footprint includes a received MFA security factor. Access to cloud-based services or applications can be secured using the created MFA footprints, where the secured access includes secure API calls to the identity cloud management system.
