Banned and Restricted Applications on PBR Devices
Overview
PBR-issued devices are managed through Microsoft Intune (Company Portal). Certain applications are prohibited on PBR devices for security, legal, or compliance reasons.
Prohibited Applications
| Application | Reason |
|---|---|
| TikTok | Prohibited under Australian Government guidance due to security concerns — banned on all government-adjacent and critical infrastructure devices |
This list will be updated as new guidance or policy changes arise.
Installing New Applications
If you need a specific app for your PBR role, contact IT Helpdesk. Do not install apps from outside the App Store, and do not use personal Apple IDs to install apps on PBR-issued devices.
IT can push approved apps directly to your device through Company Portal.
Accessing the App Store on a PBR Device
The App Store is available on PBR devices for personal app use within acceptable use policy. However:
- Do not use your personal Apple ID if the device was issued with a managed Apple ID
- Prohibited applications may be blocked or automatically removed by Intune policy
- Work-related apps should be installed via Company Portal, not the App Store directly
