Is there a way to block purchased apps from being pushed to a sub-OG?

For VPP apps, there not currently a way to exclude. There is a feature request logged for this, but I do not have any roadmap information. We may be able to find another way to accomodate your requirements, can you give me a little more information on the use case?

You mean from the SubOG or from excluding the SubOG devices from the app assignment in the TopOG ?

The ability to block topOG VPP apps from being pushed down to subOGs without having to hide the apps.

 

yes, but are you in the SubOG or in the TopOG? Do you control both or only the SubOG

Maybe I'm missing something but it sounds like if you need to do this, the OG structure built is not fit for purpose and that should be corrected. There will almost certainly be other issues going forward if you need to do this. If you move the devices to a child OG with the same parent OG of the OG you are trying to exclude, the assignment group is easily configurable to exclude the required OG.

Are you looking to achieve this for all purchased apps or specific ones only?
In the first case, you may have to re-consider how your OGs are structured (this is an important topic that can cause big headaches later if not done correctly).
In the second case, you can exclude the sub-OG by creating an Assignment Group targeting everything except those that you want to exclude. And update your existing assignment.
