Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Update the members and exclusions relationships of a deploymentAudience.

Adding an azureADDevice to the members or exclusions collections of a deployment audience automatically creates a Microsoft Entra device object, if it doesn't already exist.

If the same updatableAsset gets included in the exclusions and members collections of a deploymentAudience, the deployment doesn't apply to that asset.

If all updatableAsset objects are the same type, you can also use the method updateAudienceById to update the deploymentAudience.

Note

This API has a known issue related to deployments created via Intune.
