Get Intune Role Assignments
This script connects to Microsoft Graph to retrieve all Intune role definitions and their assignments, providing a clear view of who has administrative access to Intune. It shows both built-in and custom roles, the assigned users/groups, assignment dates, and scopes. Perfect for security audits and access reviews.
New to runbook deployment? Follow the step-by-step guide from the Deploy to Azure button to the first scheduled run, including granting Graph permissions to the managed identity.

Microsoft Graph scopes
DeviceManagementRBAC.Read.AllUser.Read.AllGroup.Read.AllAllows the app to read group properties and memberships, and read conversations for all groups, without a signed-in user.
Running this as an Azure Automation runbook? These scopes must be granted to the account's managed identity, which has no portal UI. The deployment walkthrough shows the exact Cloud Shell commands.

and their assignments, providing a clear view of who has administrative access
to Intune. It shows both built-in and custom roles, the assigned users/groups,

.CHANGELOG
1.4 - Added Azure Automation contract validation, portal-safe boolean parameters, beta Graph endpoints, and terminating paging errors
1.3 - Azure Automation now records script progress, outcomes, and summaries in job history
1.2 - Assignments now resolve their parent role via per-assignment $expand=roleDefinition (RoleName/RoleType were hardcoded to Unknown before); roles-with-assignments count and -ShowEmptyRoles listing are now accurate; added $select to role definition and principal lookups; principal lookups retry once after 60 seconds on throttling
1.1 - Local runs now use MgGraphCommunity for WAM-free interactive sign-in (auto-installed if missing)
1.0 - Initial release
.LASTUPDATE
2026-07-30
.EXAMPLE
.\get-intune-role-assignments.ps1
Shows all Intune role assignments
.EXAMPLE
.\get-intune-role-assignments.ps1 -ShowEmptyRoles "true"
Shows all roles including those with no current assignments
.EXAMPLE
.\get-intune-role-assignments.ps1 -ExportToCsv "true"
Exports the role assignments report to a CSV file
.NOTES
- Requires Microsoft.Graph.Authentication module
- Shows both built-in and custom Intune roles
- Resolves user and group names for assignments
- Assignment dates may not be available for older assignments
- Local interactive sign-in uses the MgGraphCommunity module to avoid the Graph SDK's mandatory WAM broker on Windows

Scripts that travel together.
Picked by shared tags, category, and script type — nothing magic, just metadata overlap.
Multi-Admin Approval Compliance Dashboard Report
This script connects to Microsoft Graph and analyzes Multi-Admin Approval configurations, usage patterns, and compliance metrics across your Intune environment. It generates detailed reports showing MAA coverage gaps, approval statistics, admin permissions, and trends. The script helps organizations ensure proper implementation of MAA controls and identify areas for security improvement. Reports are generated in both HTML and CSV formats for different audiences.
SecurityBitLocker Key Storage Checker
This script connects to Microsoft Graph API, retrieves all Windows devices from Intune, and checks if each device has BitLocker recovery keys stored in Entra ID. The script provides detailed reporting on compliance status, identifies devices without stored keys, and exports comprehensive results to CSV format for further analysis. This helps ensure proper BitLocker key escrow for data recovery scenarios.
SecurityCheck Certificate Profile Expiry
This script inventories all certificate-related configuration profiles (SCEP, PKCS, and trusted certificate profiles) across platforms, reports their validity period settings and assignment state, and pulls per-profile deployment status to surface devices where certificate delivery is failing. For trusted certificate profiles it decodes the embedded root certificate and reports its actual expiry date, catching root or issuing CA certificates that will silently break SCEP enrollment when they lapse.
