Assigned Access: Configurations
The Assigned Access: Configurations profile configuration restricts device users' access to a set of admin defined applications, specified by their administrator. Device users are prevented from accessing any other applications or device controls while Assigned Access is active. Applications can be either Modern Windows (.appx
) or Classic (.exe
) applications. You can apply Assigned Access to a local device account, a domain account, or a Microsoft account.
The Assigned Access: Configurations dialog box provides a list of applications to choose from in the Allowed Applications tab.
Once the profile has been assigned, devices must be rebooted before the Assigned Access profile configuration will take effect. You should also reboot the device when the profile configuration is revoked.
