What is the difference between an app protection policy and an app configuration policy in Microsoft Intune?
An app protection policy and an app configuration policy are two different types of policies in Microsoft Intune that serve different purposes.
An app protection policy is a policy that is applied to a specific app on a mobile device to protect corporate data within that app. This type of policy enables administrators to define rules that control how data is accessed, used, and shared within the app, such as preventing data leakage, restricting copying and pasting, and requiring encryption. App protection policies are typically applied to apps that are managed by Intune, such as Microsoft Office apps, and can be targeted to specific users or groups.
An app configuration policy, on the other hand, is a policy that is applied to a specific app to configure its settings and behavior. This type of policy enables administrators to define settings that are specific to the app, such as enabling or disabling certain features, configuring server settings, or setting default values. App configuration policies are typically applied to apps that are not managed by Intune, such as third-party apps, and can be targeted to specific users or groups.
