AVD Users Just Got a Privilege Upgrade.

By Anthony Harwelik

Stop the admin rights treadmill. Now.

BluetechGreen's Anthony Harwelik has guided Tampa Bay businesses through exactly this kind of transition, emphasizing that the technical implementation is often the easy part — it's the people and process alignment that determines success.

Your Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) users no longer need broad admin privileges to get work done. Microsoft Intune's Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) is now deploying elevation policies directly to single-session AVD VMs. This is a game-changer for balancing security with productivity.

What does this mean for your business? It means tighter control over your virtualized endpoints, reduced attack surface, and a smoother experience for your users. Deploying EPM, an Intune Suite add-on, allows you to grant specific, temporary administrative rights for approved applications, eliminating the need for full admin accounts that pose significant security risks.

Ready to secure your AVD environment and empower your workforce? Let's discuss how EPM can fit into your strategy.
