NinjaOne Integrations: Assign Users to Microsoft Intune Devices

  • Last Updated March 11, 2026

Topic

This article explains how to determine the assigned user for Microsoft Intune devices synced through NinjaOne.

Environment

  • NinjaOne Integrations
  • Microsoft Intune
  • Microsoft Windows

Description

Use the Microsoft Intune integration in NinjaOne to identify the devices on the network and review saved jobs and their history. To enable this integration, refer to NinjaOne Integrations: Getting Started with the Microsoft Intune Integration.

When you have enabled the Microsoft Intune integration in NinjaOne, you can define user-to-device relationships for your managed assets, which enables you to take informed action or route support requests.

Match Assigned Users to Their Devices

When you update a user assignment in Microsoft Intune, NinjaOne will update the assignments during the next sync cycle. If NinjaOne cannot match the userID to an account in NinjaOne, the device will remain unassigned.

Refer to NinjaOne SCIM: Using Microsoft Entra ID Groups to Create End User and Technician Accounts for more information.

To initiate the sync cycle in NinjaOne, you must add Microsoft Intune as a service provider by performing the following steps: 

  1. Navigate to Administration → Accounts → Identity Provider. Select Add Provider.
