Deploy the software or application to Intune group. Select the groups to which you want to deploy this software. We can deploy applications to USER or DEVICE group. If you select the DEVICE group for the application deployment, then the only option you get is to select deployment type “Required Install” (force install). For USER group, you can select any of the deployment types (available install or required install). More details about deployment types are in the following section.

Specify the type of deployment that you want to run for this software and then review the deployment settings. There are 2 types of deployment types “Available Install” or “Required Install”. Select deployment type “available install” when you want user-driven installation on mobile devices. When you select the “available install” option, the application will be available in the company portal. The user needs to install it manually from the company portal.
