First Public Preview¶
App Store for Intune is now available as a public preview. It runs entirely inside your own Azure tenant and gives users a self-service way to request applications while administrators stay in control of what gets deployed.
Highlights¶
- Self-service requests. Users browse a catalog and request the apps they need. An administrator approves, and the app deploys through Intune.
- A large catalog, plus your own apps. Search the full WinGet community catalog of more than 12,000 applications, or upload a custom MSI for anything that is not in it.
- Hands-off packaging. Requested apps are wrapped with PSADT, converted to the .intunewin format, and deployed to Intune for you.
- Approvals that fit your process. Route requests to admin or approver groups, with per-app control over who signs off.
- Phased rollouts. Release updates in rings instead of to everyone at once.
- Teams notifications. An optional Teams bot keeps requesters and approvers up to date.
Built for your tenant¶
- Everything runs in your Azure subscription. Compute, data, and identity stay with you, and nothing is hosted by PowerStacks.
- Deployment uses a single Entra ID app registration and a managed identity for Microsoft Graph access. There is no client secret to paste or store.
This is a preview and we are adding to it regularly. New release notes will appear here as updates ship.
