Manage Cloud Intune tenants

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

The Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud portal allows you to connect to an Intune tenant. You can also delete the connection and connect to a different tenant if required.

Connecting to an Intune tenant

To connect your portal to a new Intune tenant:

  1. Click Connect under Connect Intune.

Clicking 'Connect' under 'Connect Intune'.
  1. Enter the Entra ID you used to onboard to PMPC Cloud or click to select the relevant account from the list of already signed-in accounts. Then click Next.

Microsoft 'Sign in' screen

  1. Enter the password and click Sign in.

Microsoft 'Enter password' screen

  1. On the Permissions requested screen, click Accept.

Note

You must have the Global Administrator role in Entra ID to approve our enterprise app.

We require these permissions to connect with your Intune tenant.

See Permissions required for the Intune Apps for more details.

'Permission requested' screen

As this is a new, unlicensed company, the PMPC Cloud Portal is displayed with the Start Trial pop-up.

  1. On the Start Trial screen, enter the number of devices you want to use during your trial, then click Start Trial

Entering the number of devices you want to use during your trial
  1. On the Your 30-day trial has started screen, click Close

Clicking 'Close' on the 'Your 30-day trial has started' screen

Note

During your trial, a countdown is displayed, showing the number of days left on the trial. Once your trial expires, you will see the Your license has expired notification.

'Your license has expired' notification

The PMPC Cloud portal is then displayed, including the Subscription page under Settings

Clicking on the Subscriptions page displays information related to the company’s subscription, such as the current plan, expiry date, etc.

It also provides a useful matrix allowing you to compare information such as the features and limits available for each of the subscription levels.

When you look at the portal, you will see all of the features available with an Enterprise Premium license denoted by a diamond () beside them.

Enterprise Premium features blurred out

Note

If your company is already running an Enterprise Premium subscription, you will not see the diamonds in the portal and the Enterprise Premium features will not be blurred out unless your subscription has expired.

Also, if your company is a Managed Service Provider (MSP) parent company, the Subscription page will show this. There will also be no diamonds or blurring of Enterprise Premium features as MSPs get access to all features as part of their MSP license. The Subscription page is not shown for MSP child companies.

If you click on an Enterprise Premium feature, such as Reporting, you will see the diamond and Premium in the header indicating this is a premium feature.

Your live data will be shown, but it will be blurred out until you either upgrade to Enterprise Premium or Sign up for an Enterprise Premium Trial.

If you want to purchase a license, follow the Request a Quote process.

  1. Click App Catalog

Clicking 'App Catalog'

The list of applications that can be deployed and managed using Intune Apps for Cloud is displayed.

Reconnecting an Intune tenant

If your portal loses its connection to your Intune tenant (for example, if a Global Admin revokes the Permissions required for Intune Apps from within Intune), you can use the Reconnect button to re-establish the connection to your previously connected Intune tenant, which will re-grant the required permissions.

Note

The Reconnect button is only available once an Intune connection has been established.

You will only be able to reconnect to an Intune tenant you’ve previously connected to, based on the tenant ID we have stored in the portal’s database.

To reconnect your portal to an Intune tenant you’ve previously connected to:

  1. Navigate to Settings | Environments.

Navigating to 'Settings | Environments'
  1. Click Reconnect under your Intune tenant.

Clicking 'Reconnect' under the 'Intune' section
  1. Enter the Entra ID you used to onboard to PMPC Cloud or click to select the relevant account from the list of already signed-in accounts. Then click Next.

Microsoft 'Sign in' screen
  1. Enter the password and click Sign in

Microsoft 'Enter password' screen
  1. On the Permission requested screen, click Accept

'Permissions requested' screen

If the connection is successful, the Environments page is redisplayed, showing a green tick beside Intune to show your portal is connected to your Intune tenant.

If you click on the Events node, you will see a Security event titled Intune Connection Added, confirming that the Intune connection was restored.

Deleting an Intune tenant connection

To delete a connection to an Intune tenant from your portal:

    Navigating to 'Settings | Environments'

  2. On the Environments page, click Delete underneath Intune.

Clicking 'Delete' underneath Intune
