13.5 Assigning the App Protection Policy

As mandated by Microsoft, the iOS Intune App Protection policy can be assigned to only user groups. This policy cannot be assigned to individual users or to devices. You also need to ensure that the selected user group is part of the same user context associated while configuring Microsoft Graph API. For more information, see User Association. When the policy is assigned, ZENworks calls the Azure REST APIs and the same policy assignment is replicated in Azure, after which the protection settings are enforced on the users’ devices. The user group in Azure is identified based on the OnPremisesSecurityIdentifier value, which is matched with the objectsid attribute value of the user group selected in ZENworks.

After assigning the policy, it is recommended that you review the policy message logs to identify any errors that might have occurred while replicating the policy assignment in Azure. To view the policy logs, navigate to the summary page of the policy (click the policy in the Policies panel) and view the message logs to identify the reason for failure, if any. For more information on the possible reasons for failure, see Intune App Management.
