Why Extend Intune with Right Click Tools?
Many IT teams run both on-premises and cloud-based environments, and tools like Intune don’t always provide the same depth of device actions you’re used to in Configuration Manager. A quick look at Intune Subreddit threads showcases the challenges at hand when managing endpoints in Intune alone:

Currently, co-management can lead to extra time spent jumping between consoles to complete routine security checks or troubleshoot a user device.
The Right Click Tools for Intune browser extension bridges these gaps by unifying key workflows. You’ll see familiar device actions—like reviewing BitLocker status or accessing remote endpoints—available right in the Intune interface. That means less switching screens, faster response to user requests, and tighter security control across the environment.
Key Capabilities of Right Click Tools for Intune Enterprise Edition
- Quick Device Actions: Need to connect to a device’s file system or confirm if a drive is fully encrypted? Right Click Tools for Intune surfaces those actions in the browser, so you can take care of tasks on the spot.
- Kiosk Management: Configure and lock down kiosk devices, ensuring your public or shared endpoints stay secure.
- Security Insights: Check drive encryption status, verify firewall and antivirus settings, and more—all without leaving Intune.
- Co-Managed Flexibility: If you’re moving from on-prem ConfigMgr to Intune, this extension helps you retain familiar workflows during the transition.
