Excluding specific devices from web content filtering policy in Defender portal.

I am trying to exclude some devices from web content filtering. But Unlike Intune, there is no option for excluding or including a specific device while creating web content filtering policy. Currently I am holding a E3 license. Is that the problem? Please look at the screenshot attached here; this is what I get.

    Hello,

    Thanks for your reply and information.

    There should be no need to purchase E5 and its included in E3.

    For workaround you can Create device group and exclude from the scope,

    Hello,

    Thank you for the response. The answer is satisfactory for excluding device from device inventory. But my requirement is to exclude device while creating web content filtering policy, in the meantime I want the device in device inventory for vulnerability management. It's possible to exclude device only for web content filtering like in this screenshot. But it's not available for me. So, my question is this because I'm having the E3 license. Do I need to purchase E5 for this? Is this available in Defender for Endpoint add on P2? Image
