More information

Expected with Intune's February (2602) service release, we are introducing two new role-based access control (RBAC) permissions for Managed Home Screen to enhance role capabilities and streamline device management workflows. Additionally, these roles will be included in the School Administrator and Help Desk Operator built-in roles:

TemporarilySuspendManagedHomeScreen
RestoreManagedHomeScreen

How this will affect your organization:

Admins assigned to the School Administrator and Help Desk Operator roles will automatically gain access to the two new RBAC permissions. This may expand their ability to manage Android devices using Managed Home Screen, depending on how your organization uses these roles.

What you need to do to prepare:

No admin action is required. However, we recommend reviewing your role assignments and informing admins of the expanded permissions. Update any internal documentation or training materials as needed.

If you want to take advantage of the new permissions to add granularity to your roles, stay tuned to What’s new in Intune for the release.
