It’s definitely not a streamlined process though. For a helpdesk person who does this dozens of times a day (we have pretty locked-down student devices so almost every incident requires an elevation) it’s a real pain. Would it be possible to make something similar with Graph API?

Shouldn't the helpdesk people have their own privileged accounts? I generally try to discourage using local admin accounts unless it's truly necessary.

In the end the decision is up to the customer, but there are some good reasons for using local accounts for a helpdesk\break-glass style situation. One benefit is that if you are concerned that the device might be compromised, you are not making things any worse by authenticating to it with a local account that already belongs to that device (blast-area-reduction measure as it's sometimes described).- Charlie DobsonNov 29, 2023Iron ContributorGood points to consider. Thanks!
