A new View-Only Device Management role enables users, such as auditors or security analysts, to view device onboarding status, search for devices, review configuration details, and export device data, without granting permission to change onboarding configuration or other administrative settings. Existing administrative roles continue to have full access, so current workflows are unaffected. This change helps organizations follow the principle of least privilege and simplifies granting read-only visibility into device onboarding without over-provisioning permissions.
