Hi, if a laptop is joined to AzureAD by the end user (standard user) how would they go about installing software when the machine requests admin credentials? Can I add admin privileges to the users account in AzureAD? The laptop is not registered with intune.
many thanks in advance

    Hello @Deets ,

    Thank you for asking this question on the Microsoft Q&A Platform.

    Azure AD adds the user performing the Azure AD join to the local administrator group on the device, which allows them to manage the device and install the software's on the machine.
