Admin group management for Surface Hub

  • บทความ
  • นำไปใช้กับ:
    Surface Hub, Surface Hub 2S

Every Surface Hub can be configured locally using the Settings app on the device. To prevent unauthorized users from changing settings, the Settings app requires admin credentials to open the app.

Admin Group Management

You can set up administrator accounts for the device in the following ways:

Create a local admin account

To create a local admin, choose to use a local admin during first run. This creates a single local admin account on the Surface Hub with the username and password of your choice. Use these credentials to open the Settings app.

Note that the local admin account information isn't backed by any directory service. We recommend you only choose a local admin if the device doesn't have access to Active Directory (AD) or Microsoft Entra ID. If you decide to change the local admin’s password, you can do so in Settings. However, if you want to change from using the local admin account to using a group from your domain or Microsoft Entra tenant, then you need to reset the device and go through the first-time program again.

Domain join the device to Active Directory

You can join the Surface Hub to your AD domain to allow users from a specified security group to configure settings. During first run, choose to use Active Directory Domain Services. You need to provide credentials that are capable of joining the domain of your choice, and the name of an existing security group. Anyone who is a member of that security group can enter their credentials and unlock Settings.

What happens when your domain join your Surface Hub?

Surface Hubs use domain join to:

  • Grant admin rights to members of a specified security group in AD.
  • Back up the device's BitLocker recovery key by storing it under the computer object in AD. See Save your BitLocker key for details.
  • Synchronize the system clock with the domain controller for encrypted communication

Surface Hub doesn't support applying Group Policy or certificates from the domain controller.

Note

If your Surface Hub loses trust with the domain (for example, if you remove the Surface Hub from the domain after it is domain joined), you won't be able to authenticate into the device and open up Settings. If you decide to remove the trust relationship of the Surface Hub with your domain, reset the device first.

Microsoft Entra join the device

You can use Microsoft Entra ID to join the Surface Hub to allow IT pros from your Microsoft Entra tenant to configure settings. During first run, choose to use Microsoft Entra ID. You need to provide credentials that are capable of joining the Microsoft Entra tenant of your choice. After you successfully Microsoft Entra join, the appropriate people will be granted admin rights on the device.

By default, all Global administrators are given admin rights on a Microsoft Entra joined Surface Hub.

Important

Microsoft recommends that you use roles with the fewest permissions. This helps improve security for your organization. Global Administrator is a highly privileged role that should be limited to emergency scenarios when you can't use an existing role. To learn more, see the recommended guidance in Configure non-Global Admin accounts on Surface Hub.

You can add additional administrators as detailed on this page.

What happens when you Microsoft Entra join your Surface Hub?

Surface Hubs use Microsoft Entra join to:

  • Grant admin rights to the appropriate users in your Microsoft Entra tenant.
  • Back up the device's BitLocker recovery key by storing it under the account that was used to Microsoft Entra join the device. See Save your BitLocker key for details.

Automatic enrollment via Microsoft Entra join

Surface Hub now supports the ability to automatically enroll in Intune by joining the device to Microsoft Entra ID.

For more information, see Set up enrollment for Windows devices.

Which should I choose?

If your organization is using Active Directory or Microsoft Entra ID, we recommend you either domain join or Microsoft Entra join, primarily for security reasons. People are able to authenticate and unlock Settings with their own credentials, and can be moved in or out of the security groups associated with your domain.

Option Requirements Which credentials can be used to access the Settings app?
Create a local admin account None The user name and password specified during first run
Domain join to Active Directory (AD) Your organization uses AD Any AD user from a specific security group in your domain
Microsoft Entra join the device Your organization uses Microsoft Entra Basic Global administrators only
  Your organization uses Microsoft Entra ID P1 or P2 or Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS) Global administrators and additional administrators

Configure non-Global Admin accounts on Microsoft Entra joined devices

For Surface Hub v1 and Surface Hub 2S devices joined to Microsoft Entra ID, Windows 10 Team 2020 Update lets you limit admin permissions to management of the Settings app on Surface Hub. This enables you to scope admin permissions for Surface Hub only and prevent potentially unwanted admin access an entire Microsoft Entra domain.
