Windows 365 Business Cloud PC Local Admin
Hello, I have deployed Windows 365 Business and thus far it is working great. However, I was wondering if each user is required to have local admin privilege's? Thanks!
EricOrman, is there an update to this? From a compliance point of view, a standard user cannot have local admin rights to the Win365 provisioned instance. We do not want users installing software. Or, is there a workaround to strip it later?

MicrosoftM_Titcombe we introduced functionality in late 2021 to give admins more granular control over account types.
Users who are assigned a Windows 365 Business Cloud PC have standard user permissions by default. This default can be changed in the Organization Settings available at windows365.microsoft.com. More information is available in our documentation: Change organizational default settings in Windows 365 Business | Microsoft Learn
In addition, you can also change the account type on an already-created Cloud PC: Remotely manage Windows 365 Business Cloud PCs | Microsoft Learn
