How to Assign a Policy in Microsoft Intune

1. Sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center.

2. Go to: Devices → Manage devices → Configuration

3. Select the policy or profile you want to deploy.

4. Open Properties, then select Assignments, and choose Edit.

5. Under Included groups or Excluded groups:

   • Select Add groups to choose Microsoft Entra ID groups, or

   • Select All Users or All Devices to apply the policy broadly.

Important: If All Users or All Devices is selected, you will not be able to add additional Entra ID groups.

6. Select Review + Save (this step does not apply the policy yet).

7. Select Save to complete the assignment.

Once saved, the policy is assigned and will be applied the next time devices synchronize with the Intune service.
