# Overview
> **SCU Cost Estimate**
>
> This agent typically consumes **0,1 - 1 SCUs** per analysis run, depending on the size of your Intune environment. Larger tenants with more policies and assignments may use more SCUs.
### Introduction
Assignment Insights helps you make sense of your Intune assignments. If you've ever wondered "which devices are actually getting this policy?" or "why are these two configurations conflicting?", this agent is for you. It analyzes your entire Intune environment (policies, apps, groups, and assignments) then shows you exactly what's working, what's overlapping, and what's missing.
### What It Does
* **Maps your assignment landscape** so you can see which policies and apps are assigned where
* **Catches conflicts early** by finding overlapping configurations before they cause problems
* **Spots the gaps** where users or devices aren't getting the policies they need
* **Checks your group targeting** to make sure assignments actually reach who you think they should
* **Suggests ways to simplify** by identifying redundant assignments and optimization opportunities
* **Shows you the impact** of changes before you make them
* **Gives you clear next steps** with remediation guidance you can actually use
### Use Cases
#### 1. Making Sure Your Security Policies Actually Work
You've configured security baselines and compliance policies, but are they actually reaching every device? Assignment Insights shows you the complete picture: which endpoints have the protection they need, and more importantly, which ones don't. No more hoping your security configurations are deployed correctly; you'll know for sure.
#### 2. Fixing Deployment Problems Fast
An app won't install. A policy isn't applying. You're clicking through dozens of assignment screens trying to figure out why. Assignment Insights does that investigation for you, finding conflicting assignments, exclusion problems, and targeting issues in seconds instead of hours. It's like having an expert troubleshooter looking over your shoulder.
#### 3. Cleaning Up Assignment Sprawl
Your Intune environment has been growing for years. Assignments pile up. Some are redundant. Some target groups that don't exist anymore. Assignment Insights helps you identify what's actually being used, what can be consolidated, and what's just creating unnecessary complexity. Finally get that environment cleanup project off your to do list.
#### 4. Planning Changes Without Breaking Things
You need to reorganize your group structure or migrate users between departments. But how will that affect your 200+ policy assignments? Assignment Insights shows you exactly what will happen before you make the change, so you can avoid accidentally leaving users without critical policies during the transition.
#### 5. Proving Compliance When It Matters
Audit season. Compliance review. Someone needs proof that required configurations are actually deployed to the right people. Assignment Insights documents your coverage, identifies any gaps that need fixing, and gives you the evidence you need, all without manually checking hundreds of assignments.
### Why Assignment Insights?
| The Problem You're Dealing With | How This Helps |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **You can't see the big picture**: Checking assignments across hundreds of policies means endless clicking through the Intune portal | **Everything in one view**: See your entire assignment landscape analyzed and summarized |
| **Conflicts hide until they cause problems**: Two policies targeting the same devices with different settings, and you don't know until users complain | **Catches conflicts proactively**: Finds overlapping assignments and configuration clashes before deployment fails |
| **Gaps are invisible**: Some users or devices aren't getting critical policies, but you won't know unless someone reports an issue | **Shows what's missing**: Identifies exactly who's not covered by required assignments |
| **Manual reviews take forever**: You've got better things to do than manually check if assignments are correct | **Automated analysis**: Complete environment review in minutes, not days |
| **Change = risk**: Every assignment change could break something, but you can't see the downstream effects | **Know the impact first**: Understand what will happen before you click save |
| **Complexity keeps growing**: More policies, more apps, more groups, more assignments... it never simplifies itself | **Finds optimization opportunities**: Get specific recommendations for consolidating and streamlining |
### How It Works
**What goes in:**
* Your Intune policy assignments (device configs, compliance policies, security baselines, all of it)
* Application assignments and how they're deployed
* Entra ID group memberships and dynamic group rules
* Device inventory and current compliance status
* User enrollment data and any assignment filters you're using
**What it does:**
* Cross-checks assignments against actual group memberships
* Looks for overlaps, conflicts, and coverage gaps
* Evaluates whether your targeting strategy is efficient or could be simpler
* Validates that your conditional access and filter logic works the way you think it does
**What you get:**
* Coverage report showing where you have gaps
* Conflict analysis highlighting overlapping configurations
* Optimization recommendations for consolidating assignments
* Suggestions for more efficient group targeting
* Remediation scripts and clear implementation guidance
