To access support resources in the Endpoint Manager admin center, including creating and managing a support incident, your account must have an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) role that includes the *action* **microsoft.office365.supportTickets**. Guest users are an exception: they can't file support tickets, even when granted the correct action. For information about Azure AD roles and permissions that are required to create a support ticket, see [administrator roles in Azure Active Directory](/azure/active-directory/active-directory-assign-admin-roles-azure-portal).
