Will user settings apply when assigned to groups containing only devices and will device settings apply when applied to groups containing only users? In other words, can we mix device and user settings in one policy?

Oct 25, 2022Hi Nicol. The short answer is yes. For user scope assigned to devices, the settings will write to HKCU and apply to all users that use that device. Think loopback merge. For device scoped settings assigned to users, those settings will write to HKLM and also apply to any user using the same device as a user targeted with these settings, so be careful. The caveat is for Enterprise multisession devices as mentioned in the session where device scope and user scope need to be targeted to the same resource type. You can do this within one policy, but just be aware. More info here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/configuration/settings-catalog#device-scope-vs-user-scope-settings
