Assignments Manager

Overview

Microsoft Intune assignment management is built for MSP`s and enterprises (single and multi tenant). Assignments Manager standardizes, monitors, and validates policy assignments at scale with bulk-driven automation.

Assignment Manager

Standardize Microsoft Intune assignments across multiple tenants or complex enterprise environments from a single desired state file. Deploy, monitor, and maintain consistent assignments at scale with CSV-driven automation.

  • Multi-tenant & enterprise scale Deploy consistent assignment patterns across customer tenants (MSPs) or business units (enterprises).

  • Continuous compliance monitoring Validate assignments against your desired state CSV and catch configuration drift before it impacts users.

  • Enterprise-grade automation Bulk operations, safety validations, and audit trails designed for production environments.

Perfect for MSPs and Large Enterprises

Keep all your customers (multi tenant) "between the lines" by checking assignments using desired state files.


Primary use cases

Many MSPs use 'shipping ' tools to send policies from a baseline tenant to an edge tenant. See Assignments Manager as an extension at the top of that 'shipping' tool. So there is a baseline tenant that sends default policies to a tenant. Assignments Manager allows you to be very flexible to assign the shipped policies at the customer level at the time you want.

For Managed Service Providers (MSPs)

  • Standardize Intune assignments across multiple customer tenants

  • Monitor assignment drift across your customers' tenants

  • Automate desired state configuration for new customers

  • Scale operations without manual work that doesn't scale


What makes this different

Unlike traditional assessment tools that only report what exists, Assignment Manager helps you maintain the desired state:

  • Deploy standardized assignments from your CSV templates

  • Monitor assignments compliance against your desired configuration

  • Correct drift when assignments don't match expectations

Beyond assessment tools

Most tools tell you what's there. This tool ensures that what should be there actually stays there.
