Provide accounts for Microsoft Authenticator centrally
In our IT department, we manage our mobile devices with Microsoft Intune. We have a group of maintenance employees who need access to production machines on the shopfloor using mobile devices. The access to these machines are static users or OTP-based access.
Now I would like to provide all maintenance employees and their mobile devices with the Microsoft Authenticator and provide all accesses for these machines as preconfigured accounts. Is this possible with Intune or another option?
I don't want to make the Microsoft Authenticator app available to the maintenance staff (we've already managed that), but rather defined accounts for all Microsoft Authenticator clients.

Yes, this is possibile:
- Deploy Microsoft Authenticator: First, ensure that the Microsoft Authenticator app is deployed to the devices of your maintenance employees using Intune.
- Configure Accounts: Once the app is deployed, you can use Intune to configure the accounts for Microsoft Authenticator. This involves setting up app configuration policies that define the preconfigured accounts for the machines on the shopfloor.
- App Protection Policies: You can also use Intune's app protection policies to enforce security settings and ensure that the accounts are managed securely.
- User Assignment: Assign these policies to the specific user groups or devices that need access to the production machines.
