I tried by using Power Shell command, user also get Administrator role for some moment, but after some time it again looses the role. I need to make a local user into a Local Admin.

@Rizwan, Thanks for posting in Q&A.

From your description, I know you want to give local user with administrator rights via Intune.

Based on my research, there are three methods to add users to administrator group via Intune.

1.Using a PowerShell Script

2.Using an Autopilot Deployment Profile

3.Using Local User Group Membership policy

Here is a link with detailed information you can refer.

Non-official, just for reference.

Please note that only Microsoft Entra users are available for method 2 and method 3.

Hope above information can be helpful.
