FAQ
Can I use Google Chrome on a Windows computer to access Ayin data?
No, Microsoft does not support Okta federated account access through the Microsoft Single Sign-On Chrome extension.
Can I sign into Microsoft applications like Teams or Outlook on my personal computer?
Not at this time. Microsoft currently supports Mobile Application Management (MAM) only for the Microsoft Edge browser on Windows devices. We anticipate support for additional applications in the future. In the meantime, employees can access services like Teams and Outlook from within the Edge browser.
Can I access Ayin data from my Apple computer?
No, Microsoft does not support Mobile Application Management (MAM) on macOS devices.
Do I have to allow Ayin to manage my personal computer to access company data?
No, Ayin does not require device management. Instead, IT uses Mobile Application Management (MAM) to enforce security guardrails within each Microsoft application used to access company data.
Can Ayin remotely erase or monitor activity on my personal device?
No, since Ayin uses Mobile Application Management (MAM) instead of Device Management, IT can only manage company data within Microsoft applications. Ayin cannot view, erase, or modify anything on an employee’s personal computer.
