## Missing user action policy

Interactive authentication should occur during the sign-in stage. This commonly requires a new Conditional Access policy because the sign-in only triggers [User actions](/entra/identity/conditional-access/concept-conditional-access-cloud-apps#user-actions) policies to **Register or join devices**, where the connection triggers **Resources** policies.

The sign-in stage generates the security token that is used in the connection stage. If the Conditional Access policies in either stage have the access controls configured differently, an authentication issue might occur. Ensure the access controls setting on the **User actions** policy used for the sign-in stage matches (or is stronger than) the setting on the **Resources** policy used for the connection stage.

## Unsupported access controls
4242

43-
A Conditional Access policy applied to resources might use controls unavailable for **User actions** policies. Some **Grant** controls such as device compliance or [custom controls](/entra/identity/conditional-access/controls) can't be used with **User actions** policies. Some **Session** controls such as **Sign-in frequency** can't be used with **User actions** policies. If a **User actions** policy applied during the connection stage requires any of these unsupported controls, modifications are required to accommodate the use of Windows 365 Link devices.
