iOS managed contacts - how to deal with that?
Hi everyone, the last years i've already tried to solve the problem with the managed contacts. Because this was not possible earlier i forgot about that. Now i want to readress this issue. A very important article i've found is this one: Techcommunity Success: New contact sync scenario available with Outlook for iOS on enrolled devices With this thread i would like to discuss some unanswered questions of myself. I would really appreaciate any answer of you guys. 🙂 Goals: Business contacts should be able to be read through contacts app (because of caller-id) 3rd Party Messengers should not see these business contacts Thesises: It is not possible to achive this with Outlook for iOS and it's contact sync feature, right? (Because of these contacts are going to be synced through icloud, therefore these contacts are marked as "unmanaged contacts.) It is possible to achive these goals by using: an device configuration profile which configures an active sync account which only synchronizes the contacts of the users mailbox. These contacts are considdered as "managed contacts" an app configuration profile which disables the "sync contacts" feature for "outlook for ios" An App protection policy which disables "Viewing corporate documents in unmanaged apps Because of the fact this is only working for enrolled and managed devices, we need to tell the users: Caller identification is only possible if you enroll your device in Intune. (in relation to the previous points) So far, so good, but the bad news is: Because of the incopatibility with conditional access policies, we're hence not able to restrict the user from using other apps to connect their EXO account. Right? I would be very thankful if anyone can discuss this with me. (I think the best way to adress the different topics is to quote my post and answer inline.) Greetings, Patrick
