Create and Manage Device Groups area is missing from my tenant

Also don't have that. I'm guessing that the Defender for Business plan, although contains all P1 stuff, is crippled in some way. This was part of the feedback I provided on the documentation. I mentioned that maybe this was due to the license we have but no comment was made on that.

I'm seeing this issue in multiple client tenants, even ones with E3/E5 licensing. The "Permissions" blade just doesn't exist in Settings > Endpoints.
- Hey there, sorry no progress was made. I gave up on digging into it as it was taking up more time than I could afford to give.
What I can say is, Defender for Business is definitely a very confusing platform in regard to features provided and their documentation doesn't help very well. - Hi, Did you ever make progress on this one? I have the same issue, however under Configuration Management > Device Confguration, it says 'You are currently using Intune to manage your security policies', therefore I have to make the groups in Intune...

- I received a reply from MS Support. The Device Groups functionality is not directly available in Defender for Business despite it including features from P1 and P2. The DfB groups are managed elsewhere. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-business/mdb-create-edit-device-groups?view=o365-worldwide
- Thanks for trying. I think so too but I can't just open a ticket with MS Security team due to our reseller being the contact point and they're not exactly helpful. But I will keep digging, thanks!
