How do you organize the Endpoint Manager Portal Neat Clean for Intune Activities? The MEM portal is a one-stop shop for all the services in the Microsoft cloud. When users log in to a MEM portal for the first time, they can see all these services, which are already selected as favorite services by default.

The selection of favorite services in the MEM portal for individual users is not based on the user’s profile or access rights of the user. This is not good for new users in the Intune portal. They will struggle to find out their role-related services.

One of our articles helps you by showing the Intune Admin Portal walkthrough guide. It is one of the first things you have to learn. From this post, you understand what is where in the Intune admin portal (aka Microsoft Intune Admin Center).

Microsoft recently changed its brand name from MEM (Microsoft Endpoint Manager) to Microsoft Intune. For more information, refer to the Top 50 Latest Intune Interview Questions and Answers, and if you are interested, check out the Top 50 Latest SCCM Interview Questions and Answers.

For example, you are an Intune admin and can only access Intune and Azure AD users and groups. But if you log into the MEM portal, you will see loads of services that make no sense. You will also find it messy, and I’m sure you will get lost in the portal until you find the search button or Intune services.

Don’t worry—a very friendly search option is available in the Azure portal. If you are an Intune admin, click on more services and type “Intune” in the search menu. You can see two Intune services: one for Intune (MDM) and the second for Intune App Protection (MAM without enrollment).

To keep your Azure portal well organized, you must spend only 2-3 minutes when logging in for the first time. What do we need to do to get a neatly organized Azure portal? You log in to the Azure portal, click on the More services button, and then remove the services that are not relevant to you.

For example, Intune admins have nothing to do with “Virtual Machines,” so you can remove the Virtual machine service from your favorite menu. This will help you remove the Virtual machine shortcut from the left-side menu of the MEM portal.
