App Protection for unmanaged devices is known as MAM without enrolment (MAM-WE). MAM-WE is commonly used for personal or bring your own devices (BYOD). Or, use on organisation-owned devices that need specific app configuration, or extra app security.

MAM-WE is also an option for users who don’t enroll their personal devices, but still need access to organisation email.

App Protection can be validated on the device by the user. Observing our enroled device in Outlook, we can test cut, copy and paste restrictions that are being enforced by our App Protection policy.

For the purposes of this demonstration, we have received an email from our fictional organisation that contains sensitive information. We will attempt to exfiltrate this information by means of Copy and Paste.

Copying text from the body of the email, we close Outlook and then open the native Notes app. Attempting to paste the copied information, App Protection replaces the original text in the clipboard cache with “Your orginastion’s data cannot be pasted here”.

Within the Endpoint Manager portal, we can validate which apps App Protection is applied to by app or user. Navigating to Apps > Monitor > App Protection Status > Reports.

Selecting the User Report, we choose the enroled user – johndoe@traininguemauthority.onmicrosoft.com.

The report shows iOS – MAM Policy is successfully applied against Microsoft Outlook.

App Configuration is a way to streamline, and somewhat automate (to a degree), setup of work deployed/managed apps, to ensure employees are productive within minutes.

Create an App Configuration Policy

Note – Save Contacts settings refers to the enablement of Outlook Contacts and Calendar synchronization with your respective Native contacts and calendar apps. At present, only contacts sync is supported with Outlook for iOS. Outlook for Andoird supports both contacts and calendar sync. Refer to Microsoft documentation for further guidance.

Important – Outlook for Android supports bi-directional contact synchronization. However, if a user edits a field in the native contacts app that is restricted (such as the Notes field), then that data will not synchronize back into Outlook for Android.

From the home dashboard, navigate to Apps > App Configuration Policies.

Select the ‘Add’ button and then select ‘Managed Devices’.

Set a Name and Description.
**Example**
