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.
