What it does

What App Access Management Provides

Windows App Access Management enables account owners to manage supported application access on workplace Windows PCs from the dashboard — applying app-use policies, restricting access to non-work applications, and supporting device management without needing physical access to each computer.

App access rules are configured in your dashboard and applied to approved Windows devices after setup. Available rules depend on Windows version, device configuration, account permissions, and your selected plan.

⚠️
Disclosure required. App access management on company-owned devices requires proper employee notice through an acceptable-use policy where required by law. Use only on devices you own or are legally permitted to manage.
