Hi,
I just start moving the working computers from our small clinic office to users’ homes for working them remotely. I am new to this.
My Finance wants to have a new computer in-home connected to our Azure AD. Also, she wants herself to have the ability to install different financing programs on this computer.
I am just one Global Administrator to our small Azure AD and do not want to give this Role to others.
How should I set up the user account for my finance in Azure to give her just the right to install a new program?

2020-10-27T21:24:57.103+00:00 Hi, I've been looking into this and it seems you only need to be local administrators to install software. There are programs such as Access Director that can give users elevated local admin rights for 2 minutes just to let them install software, but then revokes those rights. But ultimately they still need to be local admins. This is a really good doc that goes into more detail! Azure can assign local admins when joining. There is also this doc on how to manage them. Really hope this helps! Let me know if I can clarify anything for you!
Best,
