Azure AD – You can now use GPS coordinates for better accuracy on Named Location
As you know, you can configure Named Location on Azure AD for use with Conditional Access either based on public IP address or country.
If you work with Azure Active Directory (AAD, Azure AD), you should already know the Named Locations (also known as Trusted Locations) settings which allows you to define a list of IP addresses or ranges to be marked as trusted or not and then can be used with Conditional Access.
Well, the administration experience for the Named Location has a new interface in preview, which I think make it easier to manage.
The next time you logon to your Azure (https://portal.azure.com) or Azure AD (https://aad.portal.azure.com) portal to manage the Named Locations you will see a banner telling you a new experience is available and it will replace the current one soon
NOTE please note that any changes done using the new/preview experience will not be visible with the current one but will be still applied
The Named Locations blade can be accessed from Azure Active DirectorySecurityNamed Locations
Below the ‘old/current’ experience and the new one to compare
