If you choose the "User is in control" option, employees in your organization can decide whether Windows apps can access account information by using Settings > Privacy on the device. If you choose the "Force Allow" option, Windows apps are allowed to access account information and employees in your organization cannot change it. If you choose the "Force Deny" option, Windows apps are not allowed to access account information and employees in your organization cannot change it.
