MAM | App seeking permission to access contacts

I created MAM policy and marked few of our corporate applications as protected.
 
Now when trying to open OneDrive App (protected) and access a file, it prompts for permission to access contacts.
 
Is there a way we can avoid this prompt as we don't want our apps to access contacts.
  • Its strange it prompts you for permissions maybe this could be a solution? TO create a managed device policy to specify some auto grant for some type of permissions?

      In our case, the device is not enrolled to Intune, we are just managing it through MAM.

      Is it a mandatory feature for apps to require permission to contacts.

        Looking at the screenshot you send, this is something else than an app seeking app contact permissions and indeed looks more what Moe has replied.

    Hi AnuragSrivastava,

    Are you on Android or IOS? Can you attach a screenshot? I’ve been using MAM policies, never ran to this issue, also don’t see it under my OneDrive app permission.

      This is an Android device. I have attached the screenshot, since this is a corporate app..so we don't want allow the app to seek permissions for personal contacts.

        Is the below (Screenshot) configured? If yes, can you please change it to not Require-

        Work or school account credentials for access

        I think it asks for access to Contact to find any work or school account under the users contact.

        Hope it helps!
