How to Configure Enrollment Type in Intune based on User Choice

During the enrollment process, the user is given the flexibility to decide the extent of control the company will have over the device. The user can choose to either allow the company to manage the entire device or only the corporate data on the device.


To make this choice, the user is presented with two options: "I own this device" or "(Company) owns this device". If the user selects "My organization owns this device", the device enrollment process will begin, and the company will have full control over the device.


Alternatively, if the user selects "I own the device", they can then specify the level of security needed. The user can choose to either "secure the entire device" or just "secure work-related apps and data". This allows the user to maintain a certain level of autonomy while still ensuring that work-related data is secure.

How do you want the organization to secure your device after it's enrolled?

  2. Secure work-related apps and data only


What happens when the user selects Organization owns this device


Step 1: Download and open the Company Portal app, sign in with your work account and password, and complete MFA if needed.



Tap on Continue on the first page, If the user selects the first option "Secure entire device" the entire device will be protected, and the admin can manage the remote actions on the device level, tap on Continue, and install the management profile by following the prompts.



Administrators can manage the device remotely, giving them the ability to wipe, retire, and so on. These types of enrollment register the device as Corporate under ownership, but it won't enable additional remote management and restrictions under supervised device enrollment, despite the fact that it is registered as Corporate.

Step 1: Download and open the Company Portal app, sign in with your work account and password, and complete MFA if needed.



Please tap on "Continue" on the first page. If you choose the "Secure entire device" option, the entire device will be protected and the admin will be able to manage remote actions at the device level. After selecting this option, tap on "Continue" and follow the prompts to install the management profile.



The admin has the ability to manage devices and execute remote commands such as wiping or retiring them. These types of enrollments provide the option to wipe the complete device including personal and corporate.

This process of enrollment typically involves creating separate partitions or containers for Work and Personal data, which helps administrators secure work-related information. Work-related data can only be managed within the work container or partition, while personal profiles are restricted to their respective partition. Only Organization accounts, settings, and information provisioned with Intune can be managed by the administrators. The information and settings related to a person's account cannot be managed.


This enrollment is similar to User-Enrollment with the Company portal to understand more about this enrollment please go through my post Configuring User Enrollment with Company Portal in Intune


Note: Apple Managed ID is required as prerequisite 

Step 1:Download Intune Company Portal and Microsoft Authenticator (this will be required at the time of enrollment) from the App Store, Tap on Sign in. Enter your work account and password, and complete MFA (if applicable)



To begin the enrollment process, simply tap on the "Begin" button. If you haven't downloaded Microsoft Authenticator yet, you will be prompted to download it. Once downloaded, return to the enrollment page and tap "Continue" to proceed. This will guide you through the installation of your profile and Apple-managed ID authentication. Once all of the necessary steps are completed, your device will be successfully enrolled in Intune.



Administrators can only manage organizational data remotely for enrolled devices, as options like wipe are grayed out. These devices can only be retired.
