Configuring Microsoft Defender for Endpoint requires a mix of technical skills and appropriate access rights. Professionals responsible must be well-versed in security best practices, endpoint management, and the Azure ecosystem. Permissions usually come through Azure roles like Security Administrator or Endpoint Manager Administrator. Without these rights, configuration and management of Defender settings, alerts, and policies are impossible. Knowing who can configure Microsoft Defender for Endpoint ensures that organizations place this critical security function in capable hands, helping maintain robust protection for endpoints connected to Azure cloud services.
