Subscribe to Package
On the Overview Tab of a package, you will find buttons, that allow you to import the package from the store into your environment.
They will create a Win32 software package in Intune when pressed. You have two options:
Managed
When you choose "managed", RealmJoin will also create AzureAD groups to assign the application to users.
Assigning users to the main and the preview group will triggered a "required" installation of this software title in Intune. Managed packages currently do not support "available" installations. This is to make sure, that future package/application updates will actually arrive on a user's device - which is not guaranteed via "available" installations.
"Managed" packages are the prefered way to deploy software to your users. You can combine it with automated package updates and ensure your users receive latest features and patches.
Basic
"Basic" just creates the Intune application, but will not associate it with any groups or users. You will have to manually assign groups, devices or users.
If you want to offer software for "available" installation through MS Company Portal you can do so with "basic" packages. Be aware, fully automated updates of software is not guaranteed via "available" installations.
