AFAIK, there is not a compatibility issue with Edge and modern SPO should work well there....I personally use Edge to access my corporate tenat and It works as expected

jcgonzalezmartin- Have you ever used the Excel Web Access web part in SPO classic pages? I have used it on several pages and they all worked across IE11, Chrome & Edge but as of last week they no longer display on Edge but work fine on the other two. This has become very annoying. Any help you could provide would be awesome!

 

Thanks,

    Running into a issue with Edge and SP as well, but this is with logins.

    We have several people testing Edge, but some of them have login issues after a while.
    At some point they cannot log in anymore, and don't even get the regular username/password option when accessing the website.
    They immediately get the 'Sorry you don't have access. Approval awaiting' message.

    edit: cleaning up the cache will return the login screens, but the error message is still there after trying to log in.

    Resetting passwords for this user will not always help.
    It's really annoying, as in FF or Chrome there's no issues with this.

      RobWuijster Kyle Ohmann. Have you had any resolution for this Microsoft Edge issue. We've been using it just fine for a little over a year. Until the last couple of weeks. For whatever reason, when our users try to access SharePoint online using Edge (either "old" Edge or Chromium Edge), they get a login error.

      <<You cannot access this right now

      Your sign-in was successful but does not meet the criteria to access this resource. For example, you might be signing in from a browser, app, or location that is restricted by your admin.

      Sign out and sign in with a different account.>>

       

      However, we have changed nothing (other than a Microsoft upgrade). Users USED to be able to access with no issues. Now they cannot.

       

      Thanks,

      Suzanne

        Suzanne_Childers - With the advancements in the Edge browser, it seems to be acting fine with Excel web parts.
