## Deploy Company Portal app

ADE enrollments aren't compatible with the App Store version of the Company Portal app. You can give users access to the Company Portal app on an ADE device. You might want to provide this access for one of the following reasons:
51-
- To let users choose which corporate apps they want to use on their devices
52-
- To use modern authentication to complete the enrollment process
53-
- To provide a staged enrollment in which the device is enrolled and receives device policies before users authenticate in Company Portal

Deploying the Intune Company Portal app through Intune is the best way to provide the app to users and the only way to:

55+
* Enable automatic app updates for Company Portal on ADE devices
56+
* Ensure all ADE devices, including already-enrolled ones, receive the app

To enable modern authentication during enrollment, push the app to the device by using **Install Company Portal with VPP** (Volume Purchase Program) in the ADE profile. For more information, see [Automatically enroll iOS/iPadOS devices with Apple's ADE](device-enrollment-program-enroll-ios.md#create-an-apple-enrollment-profile).
58+
Deploy the app as a required, VPP app [with device licensing](../apps/vpp-apps-ios.md#how-are-purchased-apps-licensed). For information about how to sync, assign, and manage a VPP app, see [assign a volume-purchased app](../apps/vpp-apps-ios.md#assign-a-volume-purchased-app).

To enable the Company Portal to update automatically and provide the Company Portal app on devices already enrolled with ADE, deploy the Company Portal app through Intune as a required VPP app with an [application configuration policy](../apps/app-configuration-policies-use-ios.md#configure-the-company-portal-app-to-support-ios-and-ipados-devices-enrolled-with-automated-device-enrollment) applied. Deploy the Company Portal app in this way to enable Device Staging for devices only without user affinity. With Device Staging, a device is fully enrolled and receives device policies before the addition of a user affinity. Device Staging can also be used to transition a device without user affinity, to a device with user affinity.
60+
To enable automatic app updates for Company Portal, go to your app token settings in the admin center and change **Automatic app updates** to **Yes**. See [Upload an Apple VPP or Apple Business Manager location token](../apps/vpp-apps-ios.md#upload-an-apple-vpp-or-apple-business-manager-location-token) for the steps to access your token settings. If you don't enable automatic updates, the device user will need to manually check for them on their own.

Specifically for the authentication method Setup Assistant with modern authentication, do not separately deploy the Company Portal app as a client app, with or without an app config targeted to it. ADE devices enrolling with Setup Assistant with modern authentication should be excluded from any separate Company Portal targeting in the tenant. The Company Portal is sent as a required app automatically when Setup Assistant with modern authentication is chosen as the authentication method in the assigned enrollment profile.
62+
*Device staging* is used to transition a device without user affinity, to a device with user affinity. To stage a device, set up VPP deployment as described earlier in this section. Then configure and deploy an [app configuration policy](../apps/app-configuration-policies-use-ios.md#configure-the-company-portal-app-to-support-ios-and-ipados-devices-enrolled-with-automated-device-enrollment). Make sure the policy only targets those ADE devices without user affinity.

> During initial enrollment, Intune automatically pushes the app configuration policy settings under [Use the Company Portal on an Automated Device Enrollment (ADE) device enrolled with user affinity](../apps/app-configuration-policies-use-ios.md#configure-the-company-portal-app-to-support-ios-and-ipados-devices-enrolled-with-automated-device-enrollment) when the enrollment profile setting **"Install Company Portal"** is set to yes. This configuration should not be deployed manually to users because it will cause a conflict with the configuration sent during the initial enrollment. If both are deployed, Intune will incorrectly prompt device users to sign in to Company Portal and download a management profile they've already installed.
