Hey team,

We have setup a policy to allow devices to access some applications and sites but we noticed that MAC OS users are now able to access restricted and unrestricted applications and sites.

Can you please provide us with steps to prevent Mac users from accessing restricted applications and sites

NB: Mac devices are not Azure joined

Thank you for your help

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

If you want to prevent Mac users from accessing restricted applications and sites, you can achieve this by setting up a Conditional Access policy, even if the Mac devices are not Azure AD joined. Please refer to:

Use app-based Conditional Access policies with Intune

Create a device-based Conditional Access policy

Once the policy is created and enabled, Mac users (or the selected users/groups) will be blocked from accessing the restricted applications and sites based on the conditions you've set. When they attempt to access those resources, they will be denied access and receive an appropriate message.

Please note that for Conditional Access policies to work effectively, the targeted applications and resources need to be integrated with Azure AD. Additionally, it's important to thoroughly test the policy and its impact on various user scenarios before applying it broadly.

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Simon
