App and device properties, operators, and rule editing when creating filters in Microsoft Intune

  • Article

When you create an app, compliance policy, or configuration profile, you assign that app or policy to groups (users or devices). When you assign the app or policy, you can also use assignment filters.

You can use filters on managed devices (devices enrolled in Intune) and managed apps (apps managed by Intune).

When you create a filter, you enter the app or device properties to use in your filter. For example:

  • In your managed device filter, enter the device manufacturer so the policy only applies to Microsoft devices.
  • In your managed app filter, enter the OS version so the policy only applies to devices with that specific OS version.

Advanced rule editing is also available. You can use common operators, such as and, contains, and startsWith to create expressions. These expressions are saved and used in your filter.

This article describes the different managed device properties, managed app properties, and operators you can use in your filters, and gives examples.

Important

Microsoft Intune is ending support for Android device administrator management on devices with access to Google Mobile Services (GMS) on August 30, 2024. After that date, device enrollment, technical support, bug fixes, and security fixes will be unavailable. If you currently use device administrator management, we recommend switching to another Android management option in Intune before support ends. For more information, read Ending support for Android device administrator on GMS devices.

Managed device properties

You can use the following device properties in your managed device filter rules:

  • deviceName (Device Name): Create a filter rule based on the Intune device name property. Enter a string value for the device's full name (using -eq, -ne, -in, -notIn operators), or partial value (using -startswith, -contains, -notcontains operators).

    Examples:

    • (device.deviceName -eq "Scott's Device")
    • (device.deviceName -in ["Scott's device", "Sara's device"])
    • (device.deviceName -startsWith "S")

    This property applies to:

Advanced rule editing

When you create a filter, you can manually create simple or complex rules in the rule syntax editor. You can also use common operators, such as or, contains, and more. The format is similar to Microsoft Entra dynamic groups: ([entity].[property name] [operation] [value]).

What you need to know

  • The properties, operations, and values are case insensitive.

  • Parentheses and nested parentheses are supported.

  • You can use Null or $Null as a value with the -Equals and -NotEquals operators.

  • Some advanced syntax options, such as nested parentheses, are only available in the rule syntax editor. If you use advanced expressions in the rule syntax editor, then the rule builder is disabled.

    For more information on the rule syntax editor and the rule builder, go to Use filters when assigning your apps, policies, and profiles

Supported operators

You can use the following operators in the rule syntax editor:

  • Or: Use for all value types, especially when grouping simple rules.

    • Allowed values: -or | or
    • Example: (device.manufacturer -eq "Samsung") or (device.model -contains "Galaxy Note")

  • And: Use for all value types, especially when grouping simple rules.

    • Allowed values: -and | and
    • Example: (device.manufacturer -eq "Samsung") and (device.model -contains "Galaxy Note")

  • Equals: Use for all value types, including simple rules, strings, arrays, and more.

    • Allowed values: -eq | eq
    • Example: (device.manufacturer -eq "Samsung") and (device.model -eq "Galaxy Note")

  • NotEquals: Use for all value types, including simple rules, strings, arrays, and more.

    • Allowed values: -ne | ne
    • Example: (device.manufacturer -ne "Samsung") or (device.model -ne "Galaxy Note")

  • StartsWith: Use for string value types.

    • Allowed values: -startsWith | startsWith
    • Example: (device.manufacturer -startsWith "Sams")

  • In: Use for array value types, such as ["1", "2"].

    • Allowed values: -in | in
    • Example: (device.manufacturer -in ["Samsung","Lenovo","Microsoft"])

  • NotIn: Use for array value types, such as ["1", "2"].

    • Allowed values: -notIn | notIn
    • Example: (device.manufacturer -notIn ["Samsung","Lenovo","Microsoft"])
