174: Device config policies through settings catalog

Overview​

Deploying device configuration policies through the settings catalog for macOS devices in Microsoft Intune allows for granular control over device settings. Here's a detailed overview:

Steps to Deploy Device Configuration Policies through Settings Catalog​

  1. Access Intune Admin Center:

    • Navigate to the Microsoft Intune admin center.

  2. Create a Configuration Profile:

    • Go to Devices > Configuration profiles > Create profile.
    • Select macOS for the platform and Settings catalog for the profile type.

  3. Configure Settings:

    • In the settings catalog, browse or search for the settings you want to configure.
    • Add the desired settings to your profile. These can include restrictions on built-in apps, password policies, network configurations, and more.

  4. Assign the Profile:

    • Assign the profile to the appropriate user or device groups.
    • Review and save the profile.

  5. Monitor Deployment:

    • Use the Intune admin center to monitor the deployment status and ensure the policies are applied correctly.

Benefits​

  • Granular Control: Provides detailed control over various device settings, enhancing security and compliance.
  • Unified Management: Manage all device settings from a single console, simplifying administration.
  • Scalability: Easily scale policies as the number of macOS devices grows.
  • Flexibility: Customize settings to meet specific organizational needs.

Drawbacks​

  • Initial Setup Complexity: Configuring detailed settings can be time-consuming and may require a deep understanding of macOS and Intune.
  • Compatibility Issues: Some settings may not be supported on older macOS versions.
  • Learning Curve: IT staff may need training to effectively use the settings catalog.

Possible Impact on End Users​

  • Improved Security: Users benefit from enhanced security measures, reducing the risk of data breaches.
  • Seamless Experience: Properly configured settings can lead to a smoother user experience with fewer disruptions.
  • Learning Curve: Users may need initial guidance on new policies and procedures.

Tying to Zero Trust​

Deploying device configuration policies through the settings catalog aligns with Zero Trust principles by:

  • Continuous Verification: Ensures that devices are continuously verified and compliant before granting access.
  • Conditional Access: Enforces policies that require devices to meet security standards.
  • Least Privilege Access: Limits access to resources based on user roles and compliance status.
