User assignments for apps

What Is This Page?

The User App Assignments page shows every Intune application that is targeted at a specific user — resolved automatically through all their group memberships, including All Users targeting and nested groups. You enter a name or email address, and Intune Assistant works out the complete app entitlement picture for that person.

Why Would You Use This?

• A user says an app is missing from their Company Portal — you need to find out why it is not appearing

• You want to confirm that all required apps will be automatically installed for a new employee

• You are doing an access review and need to document which apps a specific person can install

• An app is installing on a user's device unexpectedly and you need to trace which group is responsible

• You need to report on app entitlements for audit or compliance purposes

• You want to verify that an app marked for uninstall is correctly targeted at a user

How to Use This Page

Search by User

1. Navigate to Assistant > Assignments > User Assignments > Application Assignments

2. The page opens with a welcome card and a search area

3. Make sure Search for a User mode is active

4. Type the user's display name or UPN (email address) — partial names work

5. Press Enter or click Search

6. If multiple users match, a list of user cards is displayed — each showing the display name, UPN, and account status

7. Click View Assignments on the correct user

8. Intune Assistant fetches all app assignments for that user

9. The results table appears

You can paste a user Object ID (GUID) directly into the search field.

User Info Panel

After a user is selected and assignments are loaded, a summary card appears above the table:

Field	What It Shows
Display Name	The user's full name as it appears in Entra ID
UPN	The user principal name — their email / login address
Account Status	Enabled or Disabled
User Type	Member (internal user) or Guest (external / B2B user)
Created	When the Entra ID account was created

Understanding the Table

Column	What It Means
Resource	The application name as it appears in Intune. The app type (Win32App, iOS Store App, etc.) is shown in smaller text below the name
Platform	Device platform the app targets — shown as a coloured badge: blue for Windows, grey for iOS, green for Android, purple for macOS
Assignment	How the app reaches the user — e.g., Entra ID Group, All Users. Shown as a badge. Exclude assignments are highlighted in red
Target	The specific group or built-in target (All Users, All Devices). For group assignments, member counts (users / devices / nested groups) are shown below the group name. The group name is clickable
Install Type	How the app is deployed — Required, Available, or Uninstall
Status	Assigned (green badge) or Not Assigned (grey badge)
Filter	The assignment filter applied (if any). Clickable to view the filter rule. Shows a green Inc badge for Include filters and a red Exc badge for Exclude filters

Install Types — What They Mean for the User

Install Type	What Happens on the User's Device
Required	The app is automatically pushed to the user's enrolled device(s). No action needed from the user
Available	The app appears in the Company Portal app. The user can choose to install it at any time
Uninstall	The app is actively removed from the user's enrolled device(s)

Understanding the difference between Required and Available is key when troubleshooting why an app is or is not present on a device. Required apps install silently; Available apps only install if the user requests them.

Dynamic Groups

When a group in the Target column has a small purple block icon next to its name, it is a dynamic group. Dynamic groups are automatically maintained by Entra ID based on a membership rule (e.g., all devices with a certain OS version, or all users in a specific department).

If the target group has nested groups inside it, a small amber question mark icon appears in the member count area. This means some devices or users in that group may themselves be groups. To fully understand the reach of that assignment, use the Group Assignments page to drill into the specific group.

Filters Panel

Click Filters to expand the filter controls:

Filter	What It Does
Resource Type	Focus on a specific app type (Win32App, iOS Store App, Android Enterprise App, etc.)
Assignment Type	Show only specific targeting methods (e.g., only Entra ID Group, only All Users)
Status	Show only Assigned or only Not Assigned apps
Platform	Limit to a specific device platform
Install Type	Show only Required, Available, or Uninstall assignments
Filter Type	Show only assignments with an Include filter, an Exclude filter, or no filter

Use Clear Filters to reset everything at once.

Clicking on Groups

Group names in the Target column are clickable (highlighted in amber). Clicking opens a Group Details dialog showing:

• Group display name and description

• Membership type (Assigned or Dynamic)

• Dynamic membership rule (if applicable)

• Member counts: users, devices, and nested groups

Clicking on Filters

Filter names in the Filter column are clickable. A Filter Details dialog opens showing:

• Filter display name and description

• Platform scope

• Management type (MDM or MAM)

• The filter rule expression (e.g., (device.manufacturer -eq "Microsoft"))

Stats Bar

Above the results table, a stats strip shows:

Stat	What It Shows
Total Assignments	Number of rows in the current filtered view
Assigned	How many apps are actively assigned to the user
Not Assigned	Apps that exist in the tenant but are not targeted at this user
Resource Types	Number of distinct app types in the results
Platforms	Number of distinct platforms represented

Common Use Cases

Why does a user not see an app in Company Portal? Search for the user. If the app is not in the results with Install Type = Available, no group is targeting the user for that app — check group memberships or add the user to the correct group.

Confirm a required app will install on a new hire's device Search for the user after they have been added to onboarding groups. Look for the app with Install Type = Required — if it appears as Assigned, it will install automatically at next device check-in.

An app is installing on a device unexpectedly Search for the user. Find the app with Install Type = Required. The Target column shows which group is pushing it — this is the group to investigate.

Access review: what apps can this user install from Company Portal? Filter Install Type to Available and export the Standard Export to share with a reviewer.

Verify no apps are being uninstalled that should not be Filter Install Type to Uninstall and review the list.

Pre-offboarding or licence review Export the full Standard Export before the account is disabled — gives you a complete record of app entitlements.
