# Configuring Multi-Factor Authentication in RapidIdentity

While each of the Authentication Methods have been individually covered, here is a short summary on how Tenant Administrators can set up Multi-Factor Authentication with the associated methods.

Most simply put, all you need for Multi-Factor Authentication for one role or LDAP Filter, select, configure, and enable at least two Authentication Methods in the policy being set up.

In this example, we have created a Multi-Factor Authentication Method that requires both WebAuthn and Pictograph methods that has been assigned to all users with the role of **Students**. ![MFA for RI.png](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/MFA%20for%20RI.png)

This means that when all users in the role of Students attempt to log in, they will need to authenticate using [WebAuthn](/v1/docs/using-webauthn) as well as [Pictograph](/v1/docs/pictograph-authentication-how-to-video). [Other authentication methods](/v1/docs/authentication-videos) may be added as well, and more policies can be created for different roles or groups of users.
