Device identity pathways

Pathway	Typical use
Device registration	Personal device access scenarios
Device join	Organization-managed device access scenarios
Hybrid device join	Transitional enterprise scenario during modernization

Policy usage

1. Combine user and device conditions in conditional access policies.
2. Require compliant device states for sensitive applications.
3. Segment application access by managed and unmanaged device posture.

Deployment checks

• Device identity path is defined per platform and ownership model.
• Compliance and enrollment dependencies are documented.
• Support workflow exists for device registration and join failures.
