When creating new deployments for apps in the Cloud portal, we would like the ability to create a new deployment without any assignments, then add update rings later. This would allow us to validate the app via Intune by manually assigning it to any test groups first. Once the app is validated, then we'd like the ability to deploy it via our update rings.
Hey Jason,
You should be able to achieve something like that.
Create a Deployment with Update Rings, but add just Ring 1 + corresponding assignments
Create it as an "Immediate" start time.
When you tested, edit the Deployment and add Ring 2, X days later.
The Ring 2 assignments will be added on edit.
You can add additional Rings as needed following the same principle.
When newer versions are released, they will then follow the Update Ring config.
