Details:
Use expanded role-based access control (RBAC) to better manage access permissions to Windows Autopatch resources. Start by enforcing least privilege access with the new Windows Autopatch administrator and the Windows Autopatch reader roles. Learn how to assign the right permissions, apply Microsoft Intune scope tags as needed, and manage Windows Autopatch groups as a scoped admin.
When will this happen:
You could already use RBAC with Windows Autopatch in a limited way with the Microsoft Intune Policy and profile manager role.
In late May, all RBAC capabilities in Windows Autopatch started to roll out gradually.

summary for non-techies**
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in Windows Autopatch assigns specific permissions to users based on their roles, such as administrators having comprehensive management access and readers having view-only access, to enforce least privilege access and enhance security, with further refinement possible through Microsoft Intune scope tags.
