Azure AD Device Owner

Question

Hi devs,
While working in Azure AD Device Mangement, I come across a cmdlet Add-AzureADDeviceRegisteredOwner which is used to add owners to a device.
I wanted to know what is the purpose of adding multiple owners to a device and how it would be helpful.

Hello @chris ,

Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A. PFB actions which device owner could have:

• Owner attribute shows to which user the device has been allocated to. Hybrid Azure AD joined Windows 10 or newer devices don't have an owner.
• Global Administrators in Azure AD and device owners are granted local administrator rights by default. This option is a premium edition capability available through products like Azure AD Premium and Enterprise Mobility + Security.
• To view or copy BitLocker keys, you need to be the owner of the device or have one of these roles: Cloud Device Administrator

Global Administrator
Helpdesk Administrator
Intune Service Administrator
Security Administrator
Security Reader
