Before you start
- You need Documentation read access.
- Assets and Procedures need Hudu or IT Glue. Configurations needs IT Glue. Inspectors needs Liongard. Intune needs CIPP and, for company users, sharing turned on by the MSP. Your MSP controls connections, sharing, and company scope.
- These are records from your documentation tools. For device monitoring and device actions, use Devices.

Review Intune configuration
Intune documentation is opt-in. MSP staff turn it on with Document Intune policies in the Choose data step of the CIPP integration. It is off by default, and policies are documented during the nightly CIPP sync.
- Overview shows the description, template, the groups the policy is assigned to or excluded from, and when it was last modified.
- Settings lists the configured settings as readable names and values. Use Filter settings to find one. Secrets, certificates and scripts are never stored or shown; they appear as Hidden (secret), Hidden (certificate) or Hidden (script). For administrative templates and endpoint security intents, CIPP does not report individual settings, so only the name, assignments and dates are documented.
- Changes compares each documented version with the one before it and shows the old and new values.
