Track Who Modified Intune App Deployment From Audit Logs

Let’s learn who modified Intune App Deployment from audit reports. You can track and find out who created, modified, and deleted the Intune Application deployments.

Intune Audit Logs are constructive to track who did what in your MEM environment. Audit logs include a record of activities that generate a change and show details on each event or task performed in the environment.

Once any of the actions are performed by users, you can directly visit audit logs to see recent actions. We have noticed that Audit logs in the MEM portal are very short-lived or removed immediately from the dashboard.

Create, update (edit), delete, assign, and remote actions to create audit events that administrators can review for most Intune workloads. By default, auditing is enabled for all customers. It can’t be disabled.

To view or access the data from Intune audit logs, you must be in an administration role, Users will have the privilege of Global Administrator, Intune Service Administrator and Administrators assigned to an Intune role with Audit data – Read permissions.
