Hi Nayuta,

there is no user affinity for configuration profiles in Intune. The primary user is used during app targeting, for example a secondary user can't install apps on devices where he is not primary user, see some details for app targeting here:

Intune application targeting for Windows 10 Win32 apps explained

Currently the primary user can't be changed, but this is announced to be in-development, check here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/fundamentals/in-development

So to summarize I would suggest to study this article as it describes the current behavior:

Assign user and device profiles in Microsoft Intune

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/configuration/device-profile-assign

especially see section: User groups vs. device groups

In addition to user and device targeting you can use applicability rules which currently support only OS Version and OS Edition, see here:

best,
