For more specific information on the end user steps, see Enroll your macOS device using the Company Portal app. Enroll with user affinity: When the device is turned on, the Apple Setup Assistant runs. Users enter their Apple ID (user@iCloud.com or user@gmail.com). The Setup Assistant prompts the user for information, and enrolls the device in Intune.

Install Company Portal for macOS as a macOS LOB app
Company Portal for macOS can be downloaded and installed using the macOS LOB apps feature. The version downloaded is the version that will always be installed and may need to be updated periodically to ensure users get the best experience during initial enrollment.
Download Company Portal for macOS from https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=853070.
Follow the instructions to create a macOS LOB app in macOS LOB apps.
Note

Install Company Portal for macOS by using a macOS Shell Script
Company Portal for macOS can be downloaded and installed using the macOS Shell Scripts feature. This option will always install the current version of Company Portal for macOS, but will not provide you with application install reporting you might be used to when deploying applications using macOS LOB apps.
Download a sample script to install Company Portal for macOS from Intune Shell Script Samples - Company Portal.
Follow instructions to deploy the macOS Shell Script using macOS Shell Scripts.
- Set Run script as signed-in user to No (to run in the system context).
- Set Maximum number of retries if script fails to 3.
Note
The script will require Internet access when it runs to download the current version of the Company Portal for macOS.
Install Company Portal for macOS using the Apple Setup Assistant
For macOS devices running 10.15 and later, when creating an Automated Device Enrollment profile, you can now choose a new authentication method: Setup Assistant with modern authentication (preview). The user has to authenticate using Azure AD credentials during the setup assistant screens. This will require an additional Azure AD login post-enrollment in in the Company Portal app to gain access to corporate resources protected by Conditional Access and for Intune to assess device compliance.
Users must sign into the Company Portal to complete Azure AD authentication and gain access to resources protected by Conditional Access. User affinity is established when users complete the additional Azure AD login into the Company Portal app on the device. If the tenant has multi-factor authentication turned on for these devices or users, the users will be asked to complete multi-factor authentication during enrollment during Setup Assistant. Multi-factor authentication is not required, but it is available for this authentication method within Conditional Access if needed.
