How to Fix Intune Configuration Profile Disappeared from Portal
Question details
The administrator needs to locate and restore an Intune configuration profile that disappeared from the main panel but still displays assignment failures.
- Product
- Microsoft Intune
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Managing device security and USB access through Microsoft Intune Configuration Profiles.
- Observed behavior
- An existing configuration profile for USB access vanished from the Configuration Profiles panel without intentional deletion, yet remains visible under the Assignment Failures section.
Ensure you are logged into the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center with an account that has Global Administrator or Intune Administrator privileges before reviewing system logs.
Review Audit Logs and Scope Tags
Check internal logs and permissions to determine if the profile was modified, hidden by scope tags, or accidentally moved.
In many cases, a profile that appears to be missing has actually been hidden due to changes in Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) permissions or scope tags. Validating these settings helps rule out display issues.
Navigate to Tenant administration > Audit logs in the Endpoint Manager admin center. Filter the logs by the 'Delete' or 'Update' activity to see if the profile was altered by another administrator or automated process.
Go to Tenant administration > Roles. Ensure your administrative account has the correct Scope Tags assigned. If the profile was assigned a scope tag that your role lacks, it will disappear from your view.
Double-check your Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) settings to confirm your account still retains 'Read' permissions for Device Configuration Profiles.
Try searching for the exact profile name or ID using the global search bar at the top of the Intune portal, which can sometimes bypass localized panel caching issues.
Consult Microsoft Support Communities
Post the specific assignment failure symptoms in specialized Microsoft forums to receive backend troubleshooting or workarounds.

- 2. Download the Installer: Click the 'Free Download' button to get the latest installation package.
- 3. Install WPS Office: Run the setup file and follow the on-screen instructions to deploy the software.
- 4. Start Creating: Open WPS Office and begin editing your documents with seamless compatibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would an Intune profile show in assignment failures but not in the main panel?
This discrepancy typically occurs due to backend portal syncing issues, caching glitches, changes in Scope Tags that revoke your viewing permissions, or if the profile was recently deleted but the backend still retains its failure logs.
Can I easily restore a deleted Intune configuration profile?
Currently, Microsoft Intune does not have a native 'recycle bin' to restore deleted configuration profiles. If a profile is deleted, administrators must recreate it manually or restore it via Microsoft Graph API if they previously backed it up as a JSON file.
How do I check who modified or deleted an Intune policy?
You can verify this by navigating to Tenant Administration > Audit logs in the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center. Filter the activities by 'Delete' or 'Update' to see the exact user account or system process that performed the action.
Are Scope Tags applied retroactively in Microsoft Intune?
Yes, once a Scope Tag is assigned to or removed from a resource, the visibility changes take effect immediately for all administrators based on their assigned Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) permissions.
