Adding and assigning apps

Completed

Ensure that you have access to the apps you need to work. With Intune, you can add and assign an app to your devices. Before assigning an app, you must create a user, create a group, and enroll a device.

  2. Select the app that you want to assign a group to.

  2. Choose the type of app you need in the Intune 'Select app type' pane.

Install apps on enrolled devices

Your users should use the Company Portal app to install apps that are assigned as 'available' (optional). The Company Portal app itself can be installed manually from the Microsoft Store on Windows devices or set as 'required' in Intune, so it installs automatically on assigned devices.

To verify the app is accessible on your customers' enrolled devices, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your enrolled Windows 11 Desktop device.

  2. Open the Microsoft Store from the Start menu, find the Company Portal app, and install it.

  3. Launch the Company Portal app.

  4. Select the app you added via Intune.

  5. Select Install.
