# 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.

## 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
