User Management and Policy Configuration
The project involved creating users, assigning roles, configuring group policies, and deploying licenses as per organizational requirements. Below is a detailed breakdown:
User Addition and Role Assignment
Users were created in the Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) environment. Each user was assigned a specific role based on their responsibilities to ensure proper access control and resource management. Roles such as Administrator, User, Operator, and Viewer were configured according to the project's operational needs. This role-based access model enhances security and ensures that users only access resources relevant to their roles.
Group Policy Implementation through Intune
To streamline workload and enhance management efficiency, specific group policies have been created in Microsoft Intune. These policies enable assigning roles and tasks to groups of users and devices, eliminating the need for manual individual configurations.
Group Policies for Users and Devices
By creating targeted group policies, similar roles and tasks are systematically assigned to groups of users, ensuring uniform configuration and compliance. This approach also applies to devices, where consistent policies are implemented across similar device groups.
Windows Device Group Policy
A dedicated group policy has been established for Windows devices to facilitate seamless management. This policy enables associating specific tasks and configurations directly with devices by linking the policy to predefined tasks. As a result, any device added to the group automatically inherits the configured policies, minimizing manual intervention.
License Assignment to Groups
To optimize resource allocation, licenses are assigned to groups based on their intended use. This strategy ensures that users and devices within the group automatically receive the appropriate licenses, reducing administrative effort and maintaining license compliance.
By adopting this group policy approach in Intune, the project effectively reduces workload and ensures consistent policy enforcement across users and devices.
