−> When devices that utilize [Windows Autopilot](/mem/autopilot/windows-autopilot) are reused, **and there is a new device owner**, that new device owner must contact an administrator to acquire the BitLocker recovery key for that device. Custom role or administrative unit scoped administrators will continue to have access to BitLocker recovery keys for those devices that have undergone device ownership changes, unless the new device owner belongs to a custom role or administrative unit scope. In such an instance, the user will need to contact other scoped administrator for the recovery keys. For more information, see the article [Find the primary user of an Intune device](/mem/intune/remote-actions/find-primary-user#change-a-devices-primary-user).
