Here are the prerequisites for co-management: https://docs.microsoft.com/mem/configmgr/comanage/overview#prerequisites

Not on a technical level, however, co-management is *not* a remote management solution and you will have issues if the ConfigMgr agent cannot communicate with the ConfigMgr site for an extended period of time. Thus, I strongly recommend not doing this if remote management is in scope and you have no other regular connectivity between the managed endpoints and ConfigMgr (like a VPN).

No, CMG is not required for co-management. If there is documentation somewhere out that states this, please let us know so we can fix it.
- Olaf_ThyssenBrass ContributorFor Windows enrollment I can assign a co-management authority profile to a group, but excluding a group is not available yet. Is it going to be implemented soon ? Purpose: we have some devices like PAW (maintained in a group) where MECM client should not be installed during provisioning

Don't be shy. This is a great forum to ask your questions about managing devices on-prem while adding additional value and simplicity via the cloud, but also to share information about use cases and scenarios you need to support. Post your questions now in the Comments.

Here are some great places to start. The panel will definitely provide some tips, but here are some helpful resources to guide you:

The official docs are always a great place to start: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/cloud-attach/enable. Here's a video Danny did last year as well: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/video-hub/cloud-attach-today-cloud-manage-now/ba-p/2908529
- dsmodusBrass ContributorIs it possible that a co-managed device with Endpoint Security sliders moved to Intune to get the policies from ConfigMgr or GPO if these are still targeted to that device via some collection, group?
- Olaf_ThyssenBrass ContributorKeep in mind that it will add complexity and unknown side effects if settings are applied from Intune and GPO. Give up the GPO and setup the settings within the Endpoint Protection hive of Intune. If you love your collections you can sync them to Azure AD groups and use those for assigment in Intune

When the Endpoint Protection slider is moved to Intune, Endpoint Protection policies will stop applying from Configuration Manager. Group Policy is completely orthogonal to the management plane and will continue to apply regardless of ConfigMgr Co-management status.

Right now in endpoint.microsoft.com I just see a bunch of empty blocks saying contact your intune admin to get access. What rights do I need to properly use the product? We're currently 100% on-prem, nothing in intune and no tenant attach yet.
we aren't on anything cloud yet because previous mgmt was a million% anti-cloud and only now are they relaxing about it. with covid we already had a big VDI farm and big vpn capacity so it wasn't a big deal.
- IanMusgraveCopper Contributorintune admin role
- Gibson99Copper Contributorthat sounds like a global admin - are there more granular rights that can be assigned? like is there an article somewhere that explains waht rights are needed for which roles, like reporting, server admins, workstation admins, view-only, app packager, etc?
