How to log in as a PC administrator to a PC kitted with AutoPilot

Question

How can I log in as an administrator to a PC kitted with AutoPilot?

The administrator is the EntraID.

I set the administrator ID below, but I am having trouble logging in to the PC with the administrator ID...

What am I doing wrong?

@ChikaraTaro Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

For this issue, it seems more related to Microsoft Entra ID, so I will add "Microsoft Entra ID " tag. Based on my search, I find the official article describes that

Updating the Microsoft Entra Joined Device Local Administrator role doesn't necessarily have an immediate impact on the affected users. On devices where a user is already signed in to, the privilege elevation takes place when both the below actions happen:

• Up to 4 hours passed for Microsoft Entra ID to issue a new Primary Refresh Token with the appropriate privileges.
• User signs out and signs back in, not lock/unlock, to refresh their profile.

For more details, please read the following article:

Hope it will give you some ideas.
