Use the troubleshooting dashboard to help users at your company

The troubleshooting pane lets help desk operators and Intune administrators view user information to address user help requests. Organizations that include a help desk can assign the Help desk operator role to a group of Intune users. The help desk operator role can use the Troubleshooting + support pane help end users.

The Troubleshooting + support pane provides three options:

  • Guided scenarios to provide a customized series of steps centered around one end-to-end use-case.
  • Troubleshooting to help determine any issues with Assignments, App protection status, and Enrollment failures.
  • Help and support to provide global technical, pre-sales, billing, and subscription support for device management cloud-based services related to Intune.

Details about the issue and suggested remediation steps can help administrators and help desk operators troubleshoot problems. Certain enrollment issues aren't captured and some errors might not have remediation suggestions.

Note

For steps on adding a help desk operator role, see Role-based administration control (RBAC) with Intune

When a user contacts support with a technical issue with Intune, the help desk operator enters and finds the user's name. Additionally, the help desk operator can filter by device if the user has multiple managed devices.
