Establish a service-to-service connection between Intune and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
Thanks for your response. I have been assigned role of Security Administrator.
With the elevated role as Security Administrator, I can see many more options in Microsoft Defender portal but still, I see this message on Home page of Microsoft Defender portal:
You don't have the required permissions to start the setup process. Please ask your global admin for help.
Can you please shed some light on how can I leverage role of Security Administrator to establish a service-to-service connection between Intune and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint?
Although, with elevated role of Security Administrator, now I can see option of Endpoints when I click on Settings in Defender Portal but as soon as I click on Endpoints, I am redirected to this message:
You don't have the required permissions to start the setup process. Please ask your global admin for help.
Hey NoorUlHassan
From those screenshots you have provided it looks like your Defender for Business hasnt been configured
It might pay to reach out to one of your Global Administrators and get them to configure Defender for Business, using these steps at this link here
Thanks for your assistance so far. I want to understand one point here.
This is the status I can see when I click on Threats and antivirus in Microsoft 365 admin center. The status confirms that Defender Antivirus is working and that there are no threats on any device. Can you please confirm why should we configure Defender for Business at this point when our devices are already secured by defender as shown in attached screenshot:
