APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.
Adding an azureADDevice to the members or exclusions collections of a deployment audience automatically creates a Microsoft Entra device object if it does not already exist.
If the same updatableAsset gets included in the exclusions and members collections of a deploymentAudience, deployment will not apply to that asset.
You can also use the method updateAudience to update the deploymentAudience.
Note
This API has a known issue related to deployments created via Intune.
Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.
