Is the Global Administrator role required to manage Enterprise State Roaming in Azure AD?

As a new system admin, I was provided with access to some standard role assignments from the 365 admin center, which include the following:

Authentication Policy Administrator
Exchange Administrator
Global Reader
Groups Administrator
Intune Administrator
Security Administrator
Service Support Administrator
SharePoint Administrator
Teams Administrator
User Administrator

I'm currently testing the enabling of Edge Sync, which with our current P1 license, requires that Enterprise State Roaming be enabled. However, it's greyed out for me, so I was wondering if there were a specific role that would provide me with access to this.

If I do search for "roaming" on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/roles/permissions-reference, nothing comes up, which may mean that it's not explicitly allowed based on any one role. We already have five Global Admins, so it was decided that I would be provided with individual role-based access and if there was something I needed to administer, I would be assigned the appropriate role.

Anything I have read regarding the management of Enterprise State Roaming says to log in as Global Admin and I have found nothing thus far that indicates this can be done without Global Admin. If anyone can verify if there is a different role that would allow this of if GA is a requirement, that would be much appreciated.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
