Intune Admin License
Hi All Am I correct in saying that Intune Administrators, at any RBAC level, who aren't enrolling any devices still require a license? Info appreciated. Stuart
- Jul 24, 2018I agree, but from my understanding MS wants every user to have a license. Following the first blog it‘s clear to assign every role an Intune license. It‘s maybe not needed for technical reasons but for correct licensing. If this is a big concern it may be the best to open a support case regarding proper licensing in a scenario with lots of Intune Help Desk roles and how they are supposed to be licensed.
Best,
Oliver

Hi Oliver
In the process of raising this with MS.
The purchase of licenses to enable users to enrol etc is one thing and quite acceptable, however the purchase of additional licenses to admin / support those devices is quite another!!!
