Who Controls Local Admin on Entra ID–Joined Devices? Entra ID vs Windows

Local administrator access on Windows devices is one of the most misunderstood areas in Microsoft Entra ID.

Many administrators believe Entra ID controls local admin permissions, while others assume that joining a device automatically makes users administrators.
Both assumptions are wrong.

In this video, we break down who really becomes a local administrator on an Entra ID–joined device, without using Microsoft Intune or Group Policy.

You’ll clearly understand:

The difference between identity and enforcement

What Entra ID actually controls

What Windows evaluates during sign-in

Why local admin access behaves the way it does

This video focuses only on Microsoft Entra ID and native Windows behavior, so the boundaries are crystal clear.
