Feeling compelled to post here! This is still an issue in 2024, has anyone figured this out?
In my case we are using Intune for device management, and Business Premium licensing. There is not even an option to create a new group under Endpoints > Device Configuration, as it directs you to Intune for management in our case.

berryblack001 unless something has changed recently for some strange reason you are not given an option to create device groups with Business Premium.
This device groups concept is so unnatural in the modern device management and from my experience also not very reliable - multiple reasons.
As to those scope profiles not showing up - another pain with MCAS - everything is soo slooow, they will show up ultimately (if there are no other issues of course eg licensing).
MCAS (MDA or whatever it is called today) feels like a neglected product compared to all other areas of M365 security suite - which is strange and pitty.
