Hello,
Kindly need to know what is the purpose of creating devices group in intune?
Regards,
Hi ElieAT, Based on your needs, you can target policies to both device groups, and user groups you create. There are also 2 pre-created groups; All devices, (all intune enrolled devices) and all users (all Intune licensed users).
If you want to apply a policy (setting) on a device, regardless of who’s signed in, use a devices group. Users do not need to sign-in on a device for these policies and/or apps to be applied/installed when you use a device group
Create and assign user groups when you want that your policies/apps to be applied to a specific user (group). It will apply on any applicable device the user signs in.
Also have a look at Assign device profiles in Microsoft Intune | Microsoft Docs
When ever you can, you should use the pre-created groups. When you want a more granular control, create your own groups.
Hope this helps
