Intune Admin License

Hi All   Am I correct in saying that Intune Administrators, at any RBAC level, who aren't enrolling any devices still require a license?   Info appreciated.   Stuart

    I agree, but from my understanding MS wants every user to have a license. Following the first blog it‘s clear to assign every role an Intune license. It‘s maybe not needed for technical reasons but for correct licensing. If this is a big concern it may be the best to open a support case regarding proper licensing in a scenario with lots of Intune Help Desk roles and how they are supposed to be licensed.

    Best,

I agree licensing should be relaxed for admin roles.
