In Intune in the device restrictions looks like when you block facial recognition it block the Touch id, is there a way to make a policy that only disables the facial recognition but enable the touch id?

    @Louie, Andy (TIS) Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

    For this issue, currently, Face ID and Touch ID are in the same setting and there is no method to configure them separately.

    Based on my research in Apple Developer docs, they also use the same restriction setting "allowFingerprintForUnlock".

    Note: Non-Microsoft link, just for the reference.

    The settings about iOS in intune are based on the seetings Apple provided. If you are interested in configuring Face ID and Touch ID separately, it is suggested to contact Apple to consult if it will provide to MDM in the future.

    Thanks for understanding.
