As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing cybersecurity and complying with board requirements, commencing September 2024, IT Services will complete the removal of administrator rights from the remainder of staff endpoints. This means that your school board-issued device will only have approved board applications installed, ensuring a secure and standardized environment.
How will this impact you?
You will no longer be able to install applications directly on your device unless they are approved and available through the Company Portal. Additionally, you will not be allowed to change device configuration or security settings. These measures are in place to safeguard your device and the board’s network from potential threats.
Reviewing Approved Software
The board’s application management website has all approved Windows applications listed that can be installed on board devices. This website defines how the application can be installed (self service company portal or ebase work order).
Accessing Approved Software through the Company Portal
To install approved software please follow the below steps:
1. Visit the Intune Company Portal by selecting the Company Portal icon on your desktop.
2. Select the Apps option on the menu to view the available applications that can be installed on your device.
3. You will now see all available Windows applications that can be installed on your device
4. Click on the application you wish to install, and then select “Install” in the top right corner. The application should be installed within the next 15 minutes on your device.
Need Something Else?
If you require software that is not available in the Company Portal or need to request changes to device settings, please submit an ebase work order.
We appreciate your cooperation in adhering to these new standards. Your understanding and support play a crucial role in maintaining a secure and productive digital environment for everyone.
