MD-102 Manage applications Practice Question
Which THREE are valid methods to deploy an app as available for users in Microsoft Intune?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse device group assignments with user group assignments, mistakenly thinking 'Available' can be applied to device groups, but Intune restricts 'Available' to user groups only, and 'Required' is valid for both user and device groups.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Assign the app to a user group with the 'Required' setting
Assigning an app with the 'Required' setting to a user group forces the app to be installed on the user's devices, making it available for deployment. In Microsoft Intune, the 'Required' assignment is a valid method to deploy an app as available for users, as it triggers automatic installation based on user identity. This ensures the app is pushed to all devices associated with the user group, aligning with the scenario of making an app available.
