Let’s check how you can manage End User Prompts for Intune Device Categories. You will have the ability to allow or block options to let users select device categories in the Company Portal. This categorization is important because it allows administrators to apply policies and settings to specific groups of devices.
Starting with Intune Service Release 2303, You can control the visibility of the device category prompt in Intune Company Portal. You can now hide the prompt from end users and leave the device-to-category mapping up to Intune admins.
When it comes to device-to-category mapping in Intune, administrators have a great deal of control. They can define their own custom categories based on the specific needs of their organization, or they can use the default categories provided by Intune. These categories can be based on a variety of criteria, such as device type, operating system, ownership, and more.
You can automatically use Intune device categories to add devices to groups based on pre-defined categories automatically. The Intune Device Category helps IT admins to provide access to company resources for the managed devices.
Overall, the level of control that Intune administrators have over device-to-category mapping is a key feature of the service. It allows organizations to tailor their device management and security policies to their specific needs, ensuring that their devices are secure and compliant with company policies.

Hi, the block option doesn’t work. We have had it set to Block then assigned the customisation to all devices, but users are still prompted even when we have already given the device a category via Intune portal.
i think that assignment works on users and not devices
