    Hy,

    good point..

    So the Key Features and Advantages:

    No Company Portal App Required: Users do not need to install the Intune Company Portal app. Enrollment is completed through Safari and the device’s Settings app, streamlining the process and reducing app clutter on personal devices.

    (JIT) Registration: JIT registration is recommended (and in some cases required) for web-based enrollment. It leverages the Microsoft Authenticator app to register the device with Azure AD at the moment of need, enabling single sign-on (SSO) and reducing the number of times users must authenticate during both enrollment and subsequent app access, but you had also pointed through this 😉

    User-Friendly Experience: The process is faster and more intuitive, with clear guidance provided at each step. Users initiate enrollment by visiting a dedicated URL, download and install a management profile via Settings, and are then ready to access company resources through a web-based portal.

    BYOD Focus: This method is ideal for personal devices, as it protects corporate data without intruding on personal data or apps. 

     

    Hope it helps.

    Good luck!
