Managing apps protected by Microsoft Intune

For iOS devices, if you want to use Microsoft Intune app protection policies to protect data in Office 365 apps, you can do so while using BlackBerry UEM to manage the devices. You can connect BlackBerry UEM to Intune, allowing you to set Microsoft Intune app protection policies from within the BlackBerry UEM management console. A new app protection policy for iOS devices allows you to display only the Microsoft Intune managed apps that support the document type that users share to Intune managed apps. In this release, this feature must be enabled in the Microsoft Entra ID portal. In an upcoming release of BlackBerry UEM, administrators will be able to enable this feature in the BlackBerry UEM console or in the Microsoft Entra ID portal.

To deploy apps protected by Intune, you must first configure the connection between BlackBerry UEM and Intune. For more information, see Connecting BlackBerry UEM to Microsoft Entra ID.

Intune uses app protection policies to protect apps. To protect apps from the BlackBerry UEM management console, you create an Intune app protection profile. When you create or update an app protection profile in BlackBerry UEM, the settings are sent to Intune and update the settings in the corresponding app protection policy.

Note:
  • If you update the Intune app protection policy in the Entra portal, the changes are not synchronized with BlackBerry UEM. After you create a Microsoft Intune app protection profile in BlackBerry UEM, you can enable the feature for iOS devices in the corresponding policy in the Entra portal. Modifying or deleting any other settings in the Entra portal can prevent other users from activating BlackBerry BRIDGE.
  • Creating an Intune policy in Entra and assign it to a directory-linked group that includes users that are managed by BlackBerry UEM is not supported.
