Fun fact! If you have outlook on your phone with a work account added, chances are IT has admin access to your phone and can remotely wipe it at any time. Also means that your phone can be collected as evidence if you or the company is involved in a court case possibly related to emails
Ok I’ve tested this with some users that definitely do have their work emails on their private phones and I can’t see what this setting is. Are you sure about this, it seems super dodgy?
Modern way of doing it is via intune: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/remote-actions/devices-wipe
You can force registration of the device before they can access the environment, and you can enforce all sorts of things.
This is device management and isn’t something that is the default, or comes with Outlook.
A less intrusive method is application management which gives the company control to wipe the account, not the device.
Doesn’t that create an isolated admin environment I don’t think it gives me access to their personal stuff.
Also not part of Outlook, adding a work email to a private device doesn’t register it to the admin environment
My school required this. They forced me to grant the Outlook app admin access to my phone in order to be able to add my school email in the app.
To reset a password for work. Apparently eHub doesnt work on Firefox, it has to be edge or chrome. Called the Help Center and they asked if I was using chrome and I said no Firefox. “You don’t uh…have anything like chrome on your phone?” “no, I might be able to access a work computer with chrome but I’m not putting a chromium browser on my device” (it’s there because android, but all its permissions are cut off)
She just had to sit on hold while I logged on on a work computer to reset everything where if they just fucking made a webpage to work on Firefox we could have not had the conversation in the first place.
