Key Takeaways
- Microsoft Intune MMA to Manage Multiple Work Accounts with Separate App Protection Policies
- MMA (Multiple Managed Accounts) lets users add and manage multiple MAM-enabled accounts in a single app.
- Each account can have its own App Protection Policy, allowing admins to apply different security controls to different accounts.
- MMA helps consultants, employees involved in mergers or acquisitions, and users working with accounts across multiple organisations.
- One account can be MDM + MAM managed, while additional accounts can be MAM-only. Multiple MDM-managed accounts aren’t supported.
- MMA works only with apps that support multiple identities. For example, Power Apps is currently out of scope. The feature is also rolling out gradually, so it may not yet be available in every tenant.
Multiple Managed Accounts (MMA) is useful for people who need to use more than one work account in the same app. An IT support engineer can use multiple company accounts in the same app to support different organisations. Each account can have separate app protection settings.
