3.0 Intune - Application Requests

The Application Library houses all business critical applications for agencies. Applications are vetted, reviewed, and approved by the Intune and security teams.

Pre-requisites for Application Approval

  • Application Requests must be domestic or US-based. Applications will be reviewed by the security team and determined if they are suited for the Company Portal environment.

Types of Applications

An Application Library was created based on feedback from agencies regarding the work critical applications that are used every day. The Types of Applications made available for users include:

  1. Required Applications will automatically install upon the enrollment of Intune. (Outlook, Teams)

  2. Optional Applications will be made available in the Application Library once Intune is installed
    (e.g. Managed Google Play Store for Android, Company Portal Apps for iOS).

Application Request Information

Who can submit an Application Request?

  • Requesters (IT Contacts or Approved Contacts) can submit a LINK request to start the Application Request process.

Android - Samsung Knox

Google Play Store does not have paid applications, therefore, there is no process.

Managed Google Play no longer supports the ability to purchase app licenses. Your organization can still manage and request refunds for the app licenses it already owns. However, it won't be possible to purchase any additional licenses. (https://support.google.com/googleplay/work/answer/6150398?hl=en )

Removal of an Application

If any application is identified as being a risk for the security of the device or data then this application will be removed from the application library. If users have already downloaded this application onto their device the next time this device checks in with the Intune platform it will be deemed as NOT COMPLIANT with the platform and fall under to rules and processes that effect any non compliant device.

Corporate Devices

  • Depending on app policies, we can prevent users from removing applications from their device or, if they were to remove the application when the device checks back in, that application would reinstall due to its requirements.

  • Removing other applications can be done by the end user, applications have varying states of requirements for installation, some should automatically install if not detected, others are available in the Company Portal app library.

Blocking of an Application

If there is a mandated Federal, State-wide, or County-wide requirement to block an application, platform, and/or website on State-Owned and State-Leased Devices, the Franklin County Data Center will follow guidelines set forth by the regulation.

  • Applications can be blocked at a organization level so ANY device that is detected to have a banned or restricted application on the device will be classed as non-compliant until the application is removed.

  • Corporate devices should not encounter this as the only applications you can install are from the approved list of applications that are available in our application library.
