Microsoft Intune New Device Management Page Replaces Old Interface by Default for All Administrators
Administrators must have the Managed devices/Update permission along with the specific permission required to perform individual device actions. For example, changing or removing a device’s primary user requires both Managed devices/Update and Managed devices/Set primary user permissions. Organizations should review administrator permissions, update internal documentation, and familiarize their IT teams with the new interface to ensure smooth device management.
