Assign configuration profile to User or Device group

We want to set backgrounds for AzureAD joined devices. Should they be assigned to User groups or Device groups. We want to activate this setting before users log in, also for first time logon

Hans_from_Copaco if you are using Windows Enterprise or Education, you can use the appropriate Device Restriction policy within Intune.

If you have Windows 10 Pro, you have to use a Powershell script and assign it to the appropriate group.

If you want your users to be able to change the background afterwards, in case of the desktop wallpaper you can play around with the following reg key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper

So your Powershell script will download the wallpaper to a specified local path, afterwards you set this path as image destination.
