Documentation

Before the agent can send any data to the portal, a few one-time steps are required in the portal itself. Follow these steps when setting up Autopilot Monitor for a new tenant.

1. 1

   Sign in — first user becomes Tenant Admin

   Open the portal and sign in with your Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) account. The very first user to log in for your organization is automatically granted Tenant Admin rights for your tenant.

   The Tenant Admin can later promote other users to admin via the Settings page. Users who are not admins can only access the Progress portal — a simplified view for tracking a specific device by serial number — and have no access to session details, diagnostics, or configuration.
2. 2

   Enable Autopilot Device Validation in Configuration

   Navigate to Settings → Configuration and enable the Autopilot Device Validation setting. This is required before the agent is permitted to send any session data to the backend — without it, all agent uploads will be rejected.

   Why is this required? The Autopilot device check ensures that only devices registered in your Intune tenant can register sessions, preventing unintended data from reaching your tenant. Consenting to this setting is your confirmation that the agent may collect and transmit enrollment telemetry on behalf of your organization.

   Ready

   Once Autopilot Device Validation is enabled, the portal is ready to receive data. Deploy the agent via Intune (see Agent Setup) and sessions will start appearing in the dashboard as soon as devices begin enrolling.
