Time Zone configuration profiles and policies

Hello,

I'm trying to find out the way to control "automatic time zone change" option to allow users to turn it off or on.

On the Intune side there is a configuration profile using OMA-URI settings ("./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/UserRights/ChangeTimeZone" with string "LOCAL SERVICEAdministratorsUsers").

This one controls whether user can change the Time Zone manually in the Control Panel (the old school way) and it also reflects in the Settings when the "Set time zone automatically" is turned off however we have some users that have this option greyed out and I have not found a way how to change this from the Intune side.

Users are normally standard users and they do not have administrative rights by default but they should be able to change some of the settings when they invoke "elevation mode" eg in the 1st picture below if I would switch "Set time zone automatically" on I would be presented with authentication dialog and after authentication the setting would turn on.

 

1st case - user can change the "set time zone automatically" option on/off but is not in the group that is allowed to manually change the time zone hence it does not even show the time zone choices (this reflects the configuration profile mentioned above)

 

 

2nd case - user can change the "set time zone automatically" option on/off and is in the group that is allowed to manually change the time zone => shows additional options Time Zone and DST.

 

3rd case - user can not change the "set time zone automatically" option at all means can't change the TZ or DST in Settings, but is able to change time zone via Control Panel (see below)

 

And the question for the million $$$ 🙂 is if or where is the option / configuration that makes the "Set time zone automatically" greyed out. 

Any ideas?

Thanks
