Application Protection Policy not applying to Microsoft 365 (office)
Hello Community,
We have setup an APP for MS applications (android), that prevent users from saving attachments, or documents received by teams or even documents that reside on OneDrive to their local storage, we have also configured some security aspects like PIN code or biometric fingerprint to access the apps.
Everything is working fine from Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, but when i use "Microsoft 365 (Office)" App, its like the policy is not applied to this specific application, i can download files, i can access the app with no need of PIN or Fingerprint, i can access a Word file and choose save as and put it in my local phone storage.
i have already created a ticket to Microsoft, but they are veeery slow.
can you please help.
Same in our Intune tenant. We are facing the same errors. MS wake up.
- Are you targeting the right M365 apps for Android? This may help - https://rahuljindalmyit.blogspot.com/2021/09/getting-app-protection-policies-to-work.html
- Thank you for the reply.
Yes, i am targeting "Microsoft 365 (Office)" there is only this one in the list.- You will need to add the others from the managed play store in Intune.

- Hello everyone,
any updates, could you please test from your side if possible ?
Thank you Same issue here... Microsoft 365 / Office app does not pickup the policy, but works as expected on Outlook. Testing this on an old Galaxy S8 with Android v 8.0.0 installed. Our Conditional Access policy is targeted to "All cloud apps" with "Require App protection policy" as the condition. App protection policy is scoped to "All Microsoft Apps". Have tested reinstalling the apps, making sure Company Portal is signed in, signing out/in of the account in the M365 app.
