Hi, we have experienced a different local admin architecture on W365-Cloud PCs. Is there a difference approach to the normal Windows 11 Operating Systems? Is there a different posiblity to provide a non dedicated useraccount local admin rights on a dedicated cloud pc?

Hi flavioloscalzo , thanks for the question! That's correct, in Windows 365 you can create a User settings policy (link to documentation) that is assigned to users, and contains a setting for "Enable as local admin". This is more targeted than a few other ways than Intune since it only applies to those users on their Cloud PCs.

    Hi, thank you for you answer. Is it possible to add a additional useraccount to the local admin group for the user of the cloud pc? we want to have user and admin account separated.

      If AutoPilot works the same with Win365 Cloud PC, you control this with AutoPilot (user not an admin). You use Entra roles to give local admin access.
