Description

Can perform management related tasks on Teams certified devices.

Details

Users with this role can manage Teams certified devices from the Teams admin center. It allows for viewing all devices at a single glance or the ability to search and filter devices. They can check details of each device including the account that is signed in, and the make and model of the device. They can change the settings on the device, update the software, and restart the device remotely. This role doesn't grant the permissions to see Teams activity and call quality of the device.

Graph API Permissions16

Microsoft do not provide a direct mapping between Directory actions and Graph API permissions, despite this being necessary for delegated (interactive) access. MSAdminRoles.com has meticulously compiled a list of the Graph API permissions that each built-in admin role enables you to utilise. Please note this listing is not 100% accurate. Graph API permissions and Entra RBAC operate as two independent authorisation planes and do not map to each other on a one-to-one basis.
