Multiple accounts on one device managed by different companies

I have employees who work for multiple companies and have Microsoft 365 and Intune at each of their companies. They add their work accounts to their personal devices to access Outlook and Teams.

 

When applying App Protection Policies, will the applications have policies relevant to the organization that owns the data have that organization's policies applied to the data?  What happens if two work accounts have App Protection Policies applied?  Will one take precedence over the other?

 

Searching around seems to indicate this was impossible before Outlook allowed more than one work account.  I cannot find an answer where multiple work accounts are now permissible in Outlook and in Teams.

 

Thanks in advance.

    Is there any feature request about supporting multiple work profiles? We really need it when we interact with our customers.

    Hello, the limit of only a single managed account is too restricting. Nowadays, many organisation encourage the BYOD principle and thus it should be possible to use many managed accounts. 

     

    please increase the amount of simultaneous managed accounts by not managin the full device, but only the account itself

      Only 1 is not sufficient. In today’s market with almost everyone on office365, this restriction does not make sense. Professionals that support multiple businesses need to be able to have multiple accounts on their BYOD.
