Permission activesync on smartphone
Hi AnonymousForever, Exchange ActiveSync permissions mainly allow the organization to enforce mailbox/device policies such as PIN requirement, encryption requirement, and remote wipe. It does not normally give the Exchange admin full access to your personal photos, messages, or apps. The bigger difference is whether you only added email through ActiveSync or enrolled the phone into MDM or Intune Company Portal. MDM enrollment gives the company much broader management visibility and control.

Hi Jamony sorry, I missed this reply of yours. So, I understand that with ActiveSync, your personal data (specifically photos) is safe from unauthorized viewing; the worst-case scenario (which is certainly no small matter) is that a remote wipe command could be sent, causing you to lose everything.
Thanks again.
