dynamic group based on assigned license
ahhh, ok I understand now. I am using the service plan ID not the name, so I didn't realize. I am not sure I am going to actually need the group as I originally thought. My original plan was to create a dynamic group that tracks people with an intune license and then use that to apply intune user windows policies to, but then I realized this is probably a bad idea because I have non-intune licensed users who have business basic that will be logged in to a few shared device licensed intune shared PC. If I do it this way, they wont be applied any policies at all, although I am not 100% clear if they will be applied policies in this situation. Perhaps I have no choice but to apply everything to the device for these few shared (or kiosk) devices that are licensed for intune multi user shared device.

I just have a question because it seems you find a solution that worked for you but I'm not sure I catch it.
As far as I understood, the Service Plans (either by name or ID) are the sub-components included in one license. So, with the method explained here I can't search for users hat have an specific license but specific Service Plans (that could be included in several different licenses). For example, the "9aaf7827-d63c-4b61-89c3-182f06f82e5c" identifies the Echange Online Plan 1 mailbox that is included in lots of different Microsoft 365 licenses.
So, again, if I understood it right; in order to query users having one specific licenses, the query should contain the combination of all Service Plan ID (or names) that are specific for the license I want to search for. Or at least a sub-set of them that are different of any other licenses I've in my tenant so there would be no overlap.
But with the insane amounts of service plans that some licenses have, it seems a HUGE headache to write the query properly. I even wonder if the query would reach any character limitation way before it could be completed.
Isn't there any way to filter by license GUID? (the ones listed here for example: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/users/licensing-service-plan-reference)
Regards - I don’t k wo where you‘ve read this, but this is nonsense. 🙂 I work in big customers projects implementing Intune for years, windows, iOS, Android, Linux.
Device based is not bad, trust me 🙂 - That was my original plan but nearly everything I read online says to apply to users not devices except for kiosks. Good to know that applying to devices works good for you, I think for my use case it makess the most sense since all my users get the same experience and every machine should be uniform.
