explanation for non-techies**
Microsoft Intune is a tool that helps organizations manage their devices and applications. Recently, there have been updates to how certain settings can be configured, specifically for a feature called "Adminless." To understand this better, let's think of managing devices like managing a library.
Imagine you are a librarian responsible for a large library. You want to make sure that only certain people can access specific sections of the library, and you want to control who can check out books. Similarly, in a digital workspace, organizations want to control who can access certain parts of their computer systems and what they can do there. This is where Microsoft Intune comes in.
The "Adminless" feature is like having a special library card that allows people to access only the areas they need, without giving them full control over the entire library. This is important because it helps keep the library organized and secure. In the same way, the Adminless feature helps keep an organization's IT environment secure by limiting administrative access to only what is necessary.
Now, these settings can be configured using two different tools within Intune: the settings catalog and the account protection template. Think of the settings catalog as a detailed menu at a restaurant. It lists all the possible options you can choose from to customize your meal, or in this case, your device settings. On the other hand, the account protection template is like a set menu. It offers a pre-defined selection of settings that are commonly used together, making it easier to apply them quickly.
By using these tools, organizations can efficiently manage their devices, ensuring that employees have the access they need without compromising security. This approach helps maintain a balance between usability and protection, much like how a librarian ensures that books are accessible to patrons while keeping the library safe and orderly.
