Apr 1, 2025April 2025 (MicrosoftDocs/memdocs) delivered documentation updates clarifying the admin workflow completion and PIM elevation timing. Updates specified: (1) the final step to complete an approved multi-admin request requires the original requester to explicitly select 'Complete'; (2) PIM elevation delays for Intune Custom Roles including potential application times of up to 15 minutes or up to 8 hours. The changes are reflected across two docs with focused commits to improve clarity and guidance. This work reduces admin confusion, decreases support overhead, and strengthens security posture by making role-elevation timing explicit across documentation.
