What does this policy mean in relation to 'managed by organisation', and what does it do/allow?

Hi,

This question has been asked similarly but I have a particular policy I would like explained. What does the following mean/allow? It has only recently shown up and I haven't been able to get a straight answer through google searches.

    No no, nothing to worry Sophie. It just asks for permission to gather all the GPOs on the machine. Not even one thing would be touched, I guarantee.

    Thank you. The organisation right now does not have any other policies besides SharePoint in Edge. In Windows, there may be some.

    In the Windows search, 

    Type Powershell, right-click it, and choose Run as Administrator.

    Get-GPO -All

    Take a screenshot of the command and post in the next reply.

    Hi Sophie,

    Probably, you are logged in with a Work account, and a Work account admin has implemented a policy.

    The Policy allow Sharepoint to access you Local networks, which are disabled by default.

    I hope this information helps. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

    Otherwise, please take a moment to rate the answer. Wishing you good luck!
