Critical Concepts
- Intune Company Portal is an application that UCSD utilizes to manage user devices and allow users access to Trusted Resources.
- On personal devices, this application is voluntary to install when connecting to UCSD-Protected, but is a requirement to have for access to Trusted Resources.
- We highly recommend removing Intune Company Portal from your personal devices if you leave the university, as UCSD will continue to have permission to manage your personal devices until you remove this application.
- Qualys Cloud Agent and Trellix/FireEye are security applications that UCSD requires devices to have in order to gain access to Trusted Resources. These are automatically installed once you enroll your device in the Intune Company Portal. The steps for uninstalling these applications are also below.
- Please note, it may take up to a few minutes after unenrolling your device for it to be fully removed from Intune.
