Managing access to the Microsoft Store

[BJG]

What's the best approach to managing Apps and access to the Microsoft Store via Intune...? Do you just block it, and if so what's the simplest way to do that...? And then assign Apps to users/clients...?

 

Ideally what I'd like is a "self-service" approach which lets users install a curated selection of Apps themselves; currently looking at "Company Portal". Is that useful/relevant...?

 

I've also been looking at this link which discusses a feature in "Microsoft Store for Business and Education" that sounds like it might be useful, but I'm slightly put off by the way it sounds like it's on the verge of being deprecated. (?) Maybe "Company Portal" is the replacement for that...

Thanks!

(...now sorted, blocking the Store and populating Company Portal instead is just the ticket...)
