explanation for non-techies**

Imagine you're managing a large law firm, and you want to ensure that every lawyer has the right access to the resources they need without compromising security. Microsoft Intune is like a smart office manager who keeps track of who has access to what, and makes sure everything runs smoothly.

The new operational dashboard in Intune is like a control panel for this office manager. It gives you a clear view of how the security policies, known as Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM), are being rolled out across your firm. Think of it like checking the progress of a new office policy to see how well it's being adopted by everyone.

This dashboard also keeps an eye on "elevations," which are instances where temporary access to higher-level resources is granted. It's similar to giving a lawyer temporary access to a locked file cabinet for a specific case. The dashboard helps you monitor these situations to ensure they are necessary and secure.

Moreover, the dashboard offers suggestions for new rules to create, much like an office manager might suggest new procedures to improve efficiency or security based on observed patterns. This proactive approach helps in continuously refining and enhancing security measures, ensuring that the firm's data remains protected while allowing employees to work effectively.

In essence, the Intune dashboard is a tool that helps manage and oversee the security landscape of your organization, providing insights and recommendations to maintain a balance between accessibility and security.
