Can I block external users signing into Office Apps

Question

Hi,

I've been researching options to disable students modifying the Office application user account (1) and/or license linked (2) to the schools workstations (see below image)

My previous testing involved the following configuration policy settings applied to all student user accounts & computers in Intune to no effect (see below image) The problem we face is that some students are signing into the M365 apps for business suite with their own personal accounts which is causing a headache for our administrators to revert it back to the originally allocated user account license.

@Rhyan Halliday Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

For this issue, I have noticed that it is M365 app. However, this setting you configured is for Microsoft Office 2016.

Based on my research, intune doesn't have this setting for M365 apps. If you are interested in this feature, it is suggested to post in intune feedback portal. It is a place to collect customers' requirements and questions. Here is the link:

Hope it will achieve in the future.

Thanks for your understanding.
