Company Requiring Invasive MS app to use Teams/Outlook on Phone
(thelemmy.club)
My company just started requiring Microsoft Intune Company Portal app to use Teams and Outlook. From a friend in IT infosec at another company said the app can push apps, require certain settings, password requirements, or OSs, and can see a lot of stuff on your phone. I don't think this level of intrusion into my personal phone is warranted or ethical. Be warned. I'm just going to uninstall and suffer the internal political consequences.
Can even remotely wipe it they feel like it. I don't think legally they can require you to install it. I haven't for my phone. If they want to talk to me off the clock they can buy me a work phone.
I have to have it as well... Thankfully GOS let's me lock it down enough I don't think I have to worry about them wiping it. When I log into our Azure admin portal and look at my normal user account it doesn't even show that I have teams on my phone. While I'm sure that's less than ideal from a business security thing, its not my lane to fix it and I think I prefer it that way.
