## In-browser protection requirements

To use in-browser protection, users must be in their browser's work profile.

To use in-browser protection, users must be in their browser's work profile.

Microsoft Edge profiles allow users to split browsing data into separate profiles, where the data that belongs to each profile is kept separate from the other profiles. For example, when users have different profiles for personal browsing and work, their personal favorites and history aren't synchronized with their work profile.
2020

2121
When users have separate profiles, their work browser (Microsoft Edge for Business) and personal browser (Microsoft Edge) have separate caches and storage locations, and information remains separate.

To use in-browser protection, users must also have the following environmental requirements in place:

All other scenarios are served automatically with the standard reverse proxy technology, including user sessions from browsers that don't support in-browser protection, or for policies not supported by in-browser protection.

For instance, these scenarios are served by the reverse proxy:

- Google Chrome users

- Microsoft Edge users who are scoped to a protect file download policy
37-
- Microsoft Edge users on Android devices

- Users in apps that use the OKTA authentication method

To confirm that in-browser protection is active, users need to click on the lock icon in the browser's address bar and look for the suitcase symbol in the form that appears. The symbol indicates that the session is protected by Defender for Cloud Apps. For example:

Also, the `.mcas.ms` suffix doesn't appear in the browser address bar with in-browser protection, as it does with standard Conditional Access app control, and developer tools are turned off with in-browser protection.

### Work profile enforcement for in-browser protection
5354

54-
To access a work resource in *contoso.com* with in-browser protection, users must sign in with their *[email protected]* profile. If users try to access the work resource from outside the work profile, they're prompted to switch to the work profile or create one if it doesn't exist. Users can also choose to continue with their current profile, in which case they're served by the [reverse proxy architecture](proxy-intro-aad.md).

If the user decides to create a new work profile, they're prompted with the **Allow my organization to manage my device** option. In such cases, users don't need to select this option to create the work profile or benefit from in-browser protection.

## Working with Microsoft Purview and Endpoint data loss prevention

If the same exact context and action are configured for both Defender for Cloud Apps policies and a Microsoft Purview Endpoint data loss prevention policy (DLP), the Endpoint DLP policy is applied.

For example, if you have an Endpoint DLP policy that blocks a file upload to Salesforce, and you also have a Defender for Cloud Apps policy that monitors file uploads to Salesforce, the Endpoint DLP policy is applied.

## Enforce Edge in-browser when accessing business apps

Administrators who understand the power of Edge in-browser protection, can require their users to use Edge when accessing corporate resources.

A primary reason is security, since the barrier to circumventing session controls using Edge is much higher than with reverse proxy technology.

The feature is controlled through the following settings:

2. On the **Edge for Business protection** page, as long as **Turn on Edge for Business browser protection** is on, **Enforce usage of Edge for Business** is available with the following values:
92+
- **Do not enforce** (default)
93+
- **Allow access only from Edge**: Access to the business application (scoped to session policies) is available only via the Microsoft Edge browser.
94+
- **Enforce access from Edge when possible**: Users should use Microsoft Edge to access the application if their context permits. Otherwise, they might use a different browser to access the protected application.

The following options are available:
94-
- Do not enforce (default)
95-
- Allow access only from Edge
96-
- Enforce access from Edge when possible

For example, a user is subject to a policy that doesn't align with in-browser protection capabilities (for example, **Protect file upon download**) OR the operating system is incompatible (for instance, Android).
9797

98-
Admins have the option to apply policies on all devices or only on unmanaged devices.

In this scenario, because the user lacks control over the context, they might opt to use a different browser.

**Allow access only from Edge** means that access to the business application, scoped to session policies, can only be obtained via the Edge browser.
100+
If the applicable policies allow it and the operating system is compatible (Windows 10, 11, macOS), the user is required to use Microsoft Edge.

**Enforce access from Edge when possible** means that users should use Edge to access the application if their context permits, but if not, they may use a different browser to access the protected application.

3. If you select **Allow access only from Microsoft Edge** or **Enforce access from Microsoft Edge when possible**, the **Enforce for which devices?** setting is available with the following values:
103+
- **All devices** (default)
104+
- **Unmanaged devices only**
