Hi. I’m a MS global admin for my company (and quite new to it). Our security center is recommending enabling “Idle session sign-out” in the Sharepoint admin center (setting here, documentation here)

The documentation says the article is for “admins wanting to control user access to SharePoint and OneDrive (business) data on unmanaged devices”. What about Windows devices that are managed in Intune, does it not affect them? (we only allow Intune-managed company-purchased computers to access 365 resources)

Before I enable it, I want to confirm this setting only applies to the web-app/browser versions Sharepoint and OneDrive, that it doesn’t cause the desktop version of OneDrive to sign out. Also, if someone is using the browser version of OneDrive and it does sign out, will it affect other people accessing shared files in said OneDrive?
