RM561921 - Universal Print: Badge API

Microsoft 365 Roadmap

Summary

Admins can map employee badge credentials (card or NFC) to user identities in Universal Print, enabling users to release secure print jobs at compatible printers with a simple tap—no app, PIN, or sign-in required at the device. This enhances existing badge-based release with a standardized, cloud-based identity mapping model integrated with Microsoft 365.
