Description Requires that prerequisites are deployed to the policy assignment scope. For details, visit https://aka.ms/gcpol. Machines are non-compliant if Linux servers don't have local authentication methods disabled. This is to validate that Linux Servers can only be accessed by AAD (Azure Active Directory) account or a list of explicitly allowed users by this policy, improving overall security posture.
