Deterministic user → device group sync for Microsoft Intune.

Intune assigns policies to device groups. Organizations are structured around user groups. There is no native way to keep the two in sync.

DUDE maps user groups to device groups and keeps membership in sync on a schedule, as an Azure Function with Managed Identity. A PowerShell WPF GUI handles deployment, configuration, monitoring and posture review.
