Package Configuration and Assignment

Managed Subscription

Packages subscribed as managed come with automatically created and RealmJoin managed user groups. There are different types of groups available that can be chosen based on the specifics of the scenario.

Main (Required)

RealmJoin or Intune will automatically install the application. These applications are mandatory and RealmJoin/Intune will continually attempt to install the application if not found on the device.

Available

The application will appear in the RealmJoin Agent tray and will require the user to initiate the download and installation

Preview

Users and devices in the Preview group will receive the latest version of the package before the other groups. Preview settings are configurable through the Automation tab.

Uninstall

RealmJoin or Intune will uninstall the package from the assigned users and devices. Adding a user or device to the Uninstall group will remove them from all other groups.

Update

Additionally, RealmJoin provides an Update group that is created on demand. The Update group will automatically onboard loose installations of a software title into management.

Click Enable Update Group and a new EntraID Group with the suffix "(update)" will be created and software installations also assigned to this group. RealmJoin will dynamically discover installed copies of the software that are unmanaged and add the device it has been discovered on to the update group.

Enable an Update Group

Thus, new version of this software will also be installed on these devices to assert deployment of security patches across your environment.

Update Group Enabled

Managed packages are the preferred way to deploy software to your users. You can combine it with automated package updates and ensure your users receive latest features and patches.

Changing Assignments

Users and devices should only be in one RealmJoin managed group at any given time.

Users and devices can easily be moved across groups using the Managed Users function.

Selecting Main, Preview, Available and Uninstall will add the user to the chosen group and remove the user from all other groups relevant to the package.

Selecting Assign will add users to the Main group by default.

Basic

Basic packages do not have any associated Microsoft Entra groups. You will have to manually assign groups, devices or users.

Groups, devices and users that are assigned to a Basic package will be assigned as Available by default and can be changed using the [change settings] button.
