Help creating Device groups

Hi MaxRebo​ 

Just to clarify an important point: dynamic device groups can’t use user attributes (like Department or Job Title). Device groups only work with device attributes such as deviceCategory, displayName, Group Tag, enrollmentProfileName, or extensionAttributes.

You have two supported approaches:

Dynamic device groups

• Use device-based attributes (naming convention, Autopilot Group Tag, extensionAttribute) to separate Staff vs Student devices.

Dynamic user groups

• Use user attributes (Department, Job Title, etc.) and assign user-targeted policies to those groups instead of device groups.

In practice, many environments use both:

• Device groups for device-specific settings
• User groups for user-driven policies

This keeps things clean and fully automated when new devices are added.

Hope this helps.
