Cascades caregiver shared-phone bypass pilot — 2026-04-29 evening into
2026-04-30 early morning continuation.
Major work:
- Adopted phased per-group CA rollout (corrects original tenant-wide §5
design that would have blocked off-site office users)
- Step A: backfilled admin@ into excludeUsers on all 8 existing Cascades
CA policies (mirrors sysadmin@ exclusion posture; Option 1 break-glass)
- Outlook + Helpany + LinkRx assigned to Cascades - Shared Phones group
and added to MHS kiosk app list (final dashboard: 5 caregiver apps)
- Created cloud-only pilot user pilot.test@cascadestucson.com,
SG-Caregivers-Pilot group, Business Premium license, vault entry
pushed to Gitea vault repo
- Built 4 CA changes: PATCH legacy all-users-MFA to exclude pilot group,
CREATE 3 new Report-only policies (block off-network, block
non-compliant, 8h sign-in frequency) with both admins excluded
- Pilot phone wipe + re-enroll after first attempt stuck; PIN set,
awaiting MHS to take over launcher and SDM sign-in prompt
6 new project/feedback memories. Resume point at top of new session log.

Day-long session unblocking the Cascades CA reconciliation that was paused on
the Tenant Admin SP directory-role gap. Discovered Microsoft also tightened
the OAuth scope for /identity/conditionalAccess/* reads (Policy.Read.All now
required, Policy.ReadWrite.ConditionalAccess no longer accepted for reads).
Patched Tenant Admin manifest accordingly and re-consented in Cascades.
Phase B Intune state turned out to be far more built than the 4/20 log
suggested -- compliance policy, Wi-Fi, device restrictions, both SDM app
configs (Authenticator + Teams), and 7 of 8 apps were already deployed and
assigned. PATCHed device restrictions to block camera/Bluetooth/roaming
and enabled Managed Home Screen multi-app kiosk (ALIS + Teams visible,
10-min auto-signout). PATCHed Cascades named location to add primary WAN
(184.191.143.62/32). Howard added Outlook from Managed Play; SMB encryption
enabled on \CS-SERVER\homes.
CA bypass design corrected -- original §5 plan in user-account-rollout-plan.md
called for "block off-site + MFA on-site" which doesn't match the actual goal
of bypass when network + device assurance present. Reshaped to three policies
that produce on-site-compliant = password only, anything else = MFA or block.
onboard-tenant.sh patched to:
1. Backfill Policy.Read.All on Tenant Admin SP if missing (idempotent --
for tenants consented before the 2026-04-29 manifest update).
2. Assign Conditional Access Administrator directory role to Tenant Admin
SP at onboard time. Mirrors the Exchange Operator fix Mike landed in
5da9804.
Validated with --dry-run against Cascades. Customer-facing tenants already
onboarded should be re-run with this script to backfill both items.
