Intune app protection policies (APP) are rules that ensure an organization's data remains safe or contained in a managed app. These policies allow you to control how data is accessed and shared by apps on mobile devices. A policy can be a rule that is enforced when the user attempts to access or move "corporate" data, or a set of actions that are prohibited or monitored when the user is inside the app. A managed app in Intune is a protected app that has Intune app protection policies applied to it and is managed by Intune.

The Intune Company Portal app is required for App Protection Policies (APP) on Android and iOS devices because it acts as the authentication broker and Device Policy Controller for these policies.

Step 1: Once you've been provided License, install Intune Company Portal from Apple App Store or Google Play Store (DO NOT OPEN OR SIGN IN TO COMPANY PORTAL).

Example

Step 2: Please download and install Microsoft Outlook, Teams, or any other Microsoft applications needed for your job from either the Apple App Store (for iPhones and iPads) or the Google Play Store (for Android devices). If you already have these Apps on your device, skip this step.

Example

Step 3: When you login to MS Outlook or Teams App you will get notification that Your organization is now protecting its data in this app. You need to restart the app to continue.
