Intune iPhone apply policy based on user
Hello,
I am pre-enrolling corporate iPhone in Apple Business Manager to point new mobiles to my Intune and deploy a default set of policies.
Im wondering if there is a way to specify want device configurations are applied at the "build" stage based on the persons using the phone. For example, we have certain people who need specific configurations versus the default. There are large number of these people, and I'd rather do this at build time hands off rather than having to come back and add a phone to a group to get a policy etc.
I also prefer not too if possible, to set some kind of filter etc ahead of time to differentiate what policies a phone gets. Again, it's based on the user, not the device so prefers to not have to go into a portal and set a filter of some sort to make this happen.
Any suggestions if this is even possible.

Intune policy deployment is driven primarily by the user account associated with the device enrollment rather than the device itself. When a corporate iPhone is enrolled through Apple Business Manager (ABM) into Intune, the configuration profiles, compliance policies, and applications applied are determined by the user’s group membership. At present, Intune does not provide a mechanism to pre‑assign policies during the provisioning stage without leveraging groups or filters, as its architecture is fundamentally user‑centric.
