Why is the endpoints tab not appearing in the microsoft 365 defender console

Viewed 86

I am trying to onboard a device to MS 365 defender via the Settings -> Endpoints tab as stated in MSDN, but the tab is not showing up for me. It shows up for other people ive talked to. Is there something I need to do to enable it?

Please check the below note from MsDoc:

What you see in Microsoft 365 Defender depends on your current subscriptions.

I tried to check the same in my environment and was unable to find the Endpoint menu same as you like below:

This issue usually occurs if there is no required license that supports Microsoft 365 Defender.

Please check the below link to know the licensing requirements to access Microsoft 365 Defender:

Microsoft 365 Defender prerequisites | Microsoft Docs

  • Try to acquire at least Microsoft Defender for Endpoint license.
  • Make sure to sign-in with admin account to Microsoft 365 Defender admin center.

If the issue still persists, please raise Azure Support Ticket.
