Check access from Company Portal app for Windows

Verify that your device has access to work or school resources. The check access action in Company Portal evaluates your device's settings and its access status.

Organizations enforce requirements, such as encryption and password limits, to make sure only secure, trusted devices access their internal resources. Your device must meet and maintain these requirements to gain access. Complete the steps in this article to check access from the Company Portal app for Windows.

Note

If you don't have the Company Portal app installed, you can still use the Company Portal website to check access.
