When MS Security Baseline is targeted in Intune for Windows 10 workstations with O365, users can't add Gmail accounts there because the Allow button on permissions is gray out. I tested, that the area which affects this, is IE settings in Baseline which are tighted up. If I set all IE settings to not configured, gmail account is addable. The challenge is that I have no clue, what settings specificly makes this unwante behavior happen. I tried to change some Block/Deny settings to Promt, but it didn't help me.

    The setting that causes this is "Internet Explorer Security zones: use only machine settings" and like Pavel suggested it needs to be set to Disabled for it to work

    Just to validate, this is in a dialog that Outlook is popping up, correct, and not an IE browser window?
