Administrative Units (Preview) - Device Management?

Use Case: Global Company with separate business units around the world operate autonomous helpdesk organizations. They want to segment IT Administrative authority over Azure AD Devices.

Currently Administrative Units appears to not include Devices. Is this planned, or is there another way to limit the devices that an Azure Administrator has authority to manage?

    This is something i am looking for too. Given the age of this initial question, i'm guessing we shouldn't hold our breath.

        Nice pickup Harald but unfortunately that's for MSTeams admin center. We're looking to apply to Azure AD Devices. It's promising though if they litmus test it in MSTeams.
