User Self-Service Actions Setting in Microsoft Intune
The User self-service actions setting in Microsoft Intune lets administrators control which actions users can perform on their Windows 365 Cloud PCs when accessing them through the Windows App. There are two main options in this setting.
If these options are enabled, users can resolve their Cloud PC issues independently without contacting IT support. If they are disabled, only the IT administrator can perform reset or restore actions.
| Enable Users to Reset their Cloud PC | Allow Users to Initiate a Restore |
|---|---|
| If this is enabled, users can reset their Cloud PC themselves if something goes wrong | If this is enabled, users can restore their Cloud PC to an earlier saved state. |
