What this check verifies

No Intune operation approval policy is configured for tenant configuration changes, any admin can make tenant-wide Intune changes without a second approval.

Why it matters

How to fix it

Create an operation approval policy for the TenantConfiguration policy type in Intune. Assign an approver group to require peer review before tenant-wide configuration changes take effect.

Siemserva flags every tenant where this check fails and, with Senserva Trustworthy AI remediation, can propose a validated fix you approve before it applies.
