Configuration Profiles¶
The Configuration Profiles section (/profiles) displays all Settings Catalog configuration policies in your Intune tenant. You can filter, search, and sort the list, and navigate to individual profile details.
Settings Catalog vs legacy profiles
This section shows Settings Catalog policies (also known as configurationPolicies in the Graph API). These are the modern, recommended way to manage device configuration in Intune. Legacy Device Configuration profiles (the older deviceConfigurations resource) are not shown here.
Settings Catalog policies are more flexible, support a wider range of settings, and are the direction Microsoft is moving for all new Intune features.
Profile List¶
The profile list shows every Settings Catalog policy returned by the Microsoft Graph API. Each row displays:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Profile name | The display name of the policy |
| Platform | The target platform (Windows, macOS, iOS/iPadOS, Android, Linux) |
| Technologies | The management technology (e.g. MDM, Config Manager) |
| Assignment badge | Indicates whether the profile has at least one assignment |
Profiles are sorted alphabetically by name (A--Z) by default.
Filtering¶
The filter bar at the top of the page provides several ways to narrow the list:
Platform¶
Filter profiles by target platform. Select one or more:
- Windows
- macOS
- iOS
- Android
- Android Enterprise
- Linux
Technology¶
Filter by the management technology used:
- MDM
- Config Manager
- Microsoft Defender
- Enrollment
Assignment Status¶
Toggle between three states:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| All | Show all profiles (default) |
| Assigned | Only profiles with at least one group assignment |
| Unassigned | Only profiles with no assignments |
Search¶
The search input filters the profile list by name in real time. Matching is case-insensitive and happens client-side. The search works in combination with any active filters.
The list header updates to show how many profiles match your current criteria (e.g. "8 of 42 profiles matching "Firewall"").
Sorting¶
Use the sort dropdown to change the list order:
| Sort | Description |
|---|---|
| Name A--Z | Alphabetical, ascending (default) |
| Name Z--A | Alphabetical, descending |
| By Platform | Grouped by target platform |
Profile Detail Page¶
Click any profile row to navigate to the profile detail page (/profiles/[id]). This page shows:
- Profile name
- Description
- Platform
- Technologies
- Setting count
- Current assignments
A Bulk Assign button is available that navigates to the Bulk Assignment wizard with this profile pre-selected.
Pagination¶
If your tenant has more than 100 Settings Catalog policies, the list loads in pages of 100. A Load more profiles button appears at the bottom of the list to fetch the next page.
Empty States¶
If your Intune tenant has no Settings Catalog policies, the profile list shows an empty state message. If your filters or search return no results, a separate message suggests adjusting your criteria.
