Azure Joined Devices - Permission

Hi,

 

We are in the process of Azure Joining our company issued laptops. How can I set up permissions to the laptop users to not be able to make changes to the devices without an Administrator? 

 

Thigns like installing applications. Changing system settings, etc.

  • Hi Nicole,

    By default, Azure AD adds the user performing the Azure AD join to the administrator group on the device.

    You can manage the device administrator via the Azure Portal (Azure Active Directory > Devices > Device settings). Please note that this option requires Azure AD Premium licenses.

    The changes are effective from the moment the users sign-out and sign back in again on their devices or when when the new Primary Refresh Token is issued (Upto 4 hours).

      I'm not sure that answers my question. When I Azure join a device such as a laptop - the account used is automatically assigned as an Administrator on that laptop. I do not want the user to be assigned an administrator on such device. I do not want them to modify the laptops like downloading applications, removing application, etc. 

       

      I followed your recomendation and found the Device Administrators Assignments but the 2 listed are myself and another Global Administrator. Which I want to have Administrator rights on every laptops. 

       

      How Can I solve my problem?
