Miscellaneous policy mapping from Basic Mobility and Security to Intune

  • Article

This article provides mapping details between Basic Mobility and Security to Intune. Specifically, this page maps the following Microsoft Purview compliance portal policies and device properties to the equivalent policies and properties in the Microsoft Intune admin center:

  • Device properties and actions
  • Organization-wide device access settings
  • Device security policies Name and Description

Intune offers more policy flexibility. So, each Office policy translates into multiple Intune and Microsoft Entra policies to achieve the same result.

If you're migrating from Basic Mobility and Security to Intune, you can use the Migration evaluation tool to automate much of this mapping.

Device properties and actions

To see these settings, sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center and then select a device.

User

  • Devices > All devices > device name > Overview > Enrolled by

Device type

  • Devices > All devices > device name > Overview > Operating system

State

This setting isn't a default column in the admin center device list. You can show it by using the Columns picker.

  • Devices > All devices > Device state column

OS version

  • Devices > All devices > device name > Hardware > Operating system version

Factory reset

  • Devices > All devices > device name > Overview > Wipe

  • Devices > All devices > device name > Overview > Retire

Organization-wide device access settings

To see these settings in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal, sign in to the Purview compliance portal. Then, select Device security policies > Manage organization-wide device access settings.

These settings are backed by the Conditional Access policy [GraphAggregatorService] Device policy. It includes:

  • Device platforms: iOS, Android
  • Target client apps: Mobile app desktop clients
  • Access controls: require compliant device

If a device isn't supported by MDM for Office 365, do you want to allow or block it from using an Exchange account to access your organization's email?

This setting modifies one classic Conditional Access policy:

  • Endpoint security > Conditional access > Classic policies > [GraphAggregatorService] Device policy > Conditions > Client apps (Preview) > Mobile apps and desktop clients > Exchange ActiveSync clients > Apply policy only to supported platform

Are there any security groups you want to exclude from access control?

This setting modifies five classic Conditional Access policies:

  • [GraphAggregatorService] Device policy

  • [Office 365 Exchange Online] Device policy

  • [Outlook Service for Exchange] Device policy

  • [Office 365 SharePoint Online] Device policy

  • [Outlook Service for OneDrive] Device policy

  • Endpoint security > Conditional access > policy name > Users and groups > Exclude
