intune administrator

 

Good afternoon,

It is possible from Intune that without administrator permissions they can modify host and environment variables, some configuration so that they can do so.

thank you

  • Is your question asking if you can allow users on Intune enrolled devices to change computer and user environment variables? Users should be able to change the user environment variables. For the computer/system variables, you need administrator permissions.

    Could you explain your use case?

      I need a program or something that can be managed from Intune so that users can modify the computer's environment variables without having administrator permissions. I understand that, for example, it could be possible to create a rule with the endpoint manager privilege, but is there any other alternative?

        I have an idea... but maybe a stupid one πŸ™‚

        Step 1:
        If you could create a powershell script with this content in it
        rundll32 sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables
        Step 2: Create a scheduled task that will use the serviceui to bring the prompt to the user and make sure that scheduled task is launched as system. Give the user permissions to that task and create a shortcut to the desktop...

        I guess it should work something like this and its free πŸ™‚ ... If you need help with it ... i am here
