Check access from Company Portal app for Windows

Verify that your device has access to work or school resources.

Organizations enforce requirements–such as encryption and password limits– to make sure only secure, trusted devices access their data. Managed devices must meet and maintain these requirements to access the organization's resources.

The Check access action evaluates your device's settings and its access status. The Device details page lists the settings you need to adjust to regain 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.

Check access from Device details page

1. Open the Company Portal app for Windows and go to My Devices.

3. On the Device details page, select Check access. The app syncs your device with your organization's current requirements and checks to make sure your device matches them. This check can take a few minutes.
