# Install the Company Portal app for MacOS as a MacOS LOB app

Step-by-step instructions on installing the Company Portal app for MacOS as a Line-of-Business (LOB) app. Learn how to download, add, and assign the app in Intune for seamless device management.

## Install the Company Portal app 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 [here](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=853070)

Add the app by going to the Intune portal – Apps – All Apps – Create – App Type – select the macOS platform, then Line-of-business app – select

Browse to your downloaded CompanyPortal-installer.pkg file and fill in the empty required fields

Assign it to your desired group

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, what we have done. The user has to authenticate using Microsoft Entra credentials during the setup assistant screens. This will require an additional Microsoft Entra login post-enrollment 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 Microsoft Entra authentication and gain access to resources protected by Conditional Access. User affinity is established when users complete the enrollment and reach the home screen of the macOS 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.intunemacadmins.com/complete-guide-macos-deployment/install-the-company-portal-app-for-macos-as-a-macos-lob-app.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
