How can I configure a dynamic group that adds devices based on who owns the device?

Question

Hi,

We have a phased scheme for rolling out configuration profile changes across our organisation. For example we have groups named Users Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3 etc. We also have separate phase groups just for devices.

I would like to create dynamic phase groups that automatically update according to who owns the device. Currently the process we have of managing these groups is very manual, so I would like the process to be as follows:

Imagine you have 3 user security groups named User Group 1, User Group 2 and User Group 3. Inside the groups are the following users:

1: Bill

2: James

3: Clare

We want three device groups (Device Group 1, Device Group 2, Device Group 3) that will automatically assign devices to the appropriate device groups. So if James has a laptop and a desktop, these devices will automatically be assigned to Device 2.

How would I go about configuring this? Is it even possible?

Thanks,

Pete

@Pete，Thanks for posting in Q&A.

Based on my research, I didn't find the rule to create the dynamic device group according to the owner.

But I find the following link mention that the physicalIds field in Azure AD contains USER-GID information. And you can build a dynamic query on that. You can try and see if it can help

Hope the above information can help.
