Cloud Architect’s Guide to Application Access Policy Support in Exchange Web Services (EWS)
What is Application Access Policy Support in Exchange Web Services?
The Application Access Policy Support (AAPS) in Exchange Web Services (EWS) is a new feature that Microsoft has recently released to help cloud architects and admins protect corporate data. This feature allows admins to create and manage access policies that are based on an app’s identity and app-based authentication. It also allows them to control which apps are allowed to access Exchange data and which ones are not.What are the benefits of Application Access Policy Support in Exchange Web Services?
The AAPS in EWS provides cloud architects and admins with the ability to control access to Exchange data based on an app’s identity and its authentication. This helps ensure that only apps that are approved by the organization are allowed to access Exchange data. Additionally, the APP in EWS allows admins to create and manage access policies that are customized to the organization’s specific needs.Furthermore, the AAPS in EWS also helps to reduce the risk of data leakage by providing admins with the ability to monitor and audit which apps are accessing Exchange data. This helps admins to quickly identify any suspicious or unauthorized access to Exchange data and take appropriate action.
How do I use Application Access Policy Support in Exchange Web Services?
Using the AAPS in EWS is fairly straightforward. The first step is to create an app-based access policy. This can be done through the Exchange Admin Center (EAC). In the EAC, under the “Organization” tab, select “Application Access Policies”.Once the app-based access policy is created, the next step is to configure the policy. This can be done by selecting “Configure” from the policy’s properties page. From here, admins can select which apps are allowed to access Exchange data and also set up authentication for those apps.
Once the app-based access policy has been created and configured, the final step is to assign the policy to the organization’s users. This can be done by selecting “Assign” from the policy’s properties page. From here, admins can select which users the policy should be assigned to.
Conclusion
Application Access Policy Support in Exchange Web Services is a powerful new feature that provides cloud architects and admins with the ability to control access to Exchange data based on an app’s identity and its authentication. By using the AAPS in EWS, admins can create and manage access policies that are customized to the organization’s specific needs and reduce the risk of data leakage by monitoring and auditing which apps are accessing Exchange data.
