Bulk Rename Conditional Access Policies

When your Conditional Access policies accumulate names that no longer match your standards — after a baseline update, a tenant migration, or simply over time — renaming them one by one is slow. Bulk Rename lets you apply naming changes across many policies at once, with a preview before anything is saved.

What you can do

• Add a prefix — e.g. turn MFA - All users into LEGACY - MFA - All users
• Add a suffix — e.g. turn MFA - All users into MFA - All users - v1
• Replace text — e.g. change DEV to PROD across all selected policies

How to use it

1. Go to Conditional Access and load your policies.
2. Select the checkboxes next to the policies you want to rename.
3. Click Bulk Edit in the selection toolbar that appears.
4. Choose your rename operation: Add prefix, Add suffix, or Replace text, then fill in the value.
5. Click Preview Changes to see exactly what will change before anything is saved.
6. Review the preview table — each row shows the current name and the proposed new name.
7. If everything looks right, click Apply to execute the changes.
8. After the changes are applied, you are automatically returned to the policy list after a few seconds.

What you will see in the preview

The preview shows a table with one row per selected policy:

Current name	New name	Status
MFA - All users	LEGACY - MFA - All users	Ready
Block - Legacy auth	LEGACY - Block - Legacy auth	Conflict

Rows marked as a conflict will be skipped during execution — the rest will proceed. A final result table is shown after applying.

Requirements

• Available to all non-free customers (Standard with paid modules, Enterprise, MVP, NFR, MSP).
• MSP admins can run bulk renames on their managed customer tenants by selecting the correct tenant from the tenant switcher.
• You need the Policy.ReadWrite.ConditionalAccess Graph permission to rename policies. If IntuneAssistant has not been consented for this scope yet, you will be prompted to consent first.

Safety rules

• You can only add a prefix, add a suffix, or replace specific text — you cannot overwrite the entire name to a fixed value.
• If the proposed new name already exists in the tenant, that policy is automatically skipped.
• All changes are recorded in the Audit Log so you can always see what was changed, when, and by whom.

Tips

• Use Replace to fix a typo or update a version number across all matching policies at once.
• Run a preview first on a small selection to verify your pattern before applying to all matching policies.
• If you need to undo a rename, run Bulk Edit again with the reverse operation.
