I was trying to share a photo to someone and clicked switch to work because was just curious what pops up.
Alao was using my one drive app to upload. I clicked on work and got the same thing. Somce its a microsfot app, i don't know if its a microsoft problem or samsung.
Does anyone know what admin its talking about?

It's possible some companies automatically do it once you connect to their network or utilize their apps, like email. You would have probably had to grant permission for it, but if it was so long ago, you either probably don't remember doing it, or thought you were just acknowledging use of the email. Ticked me off once when I logged into a work email account from my home computer and then found out my browser was now being managed by my organization.

How did they manage your browser just by signing in?

It was a government agency. It was not a major management issue, they just took control of my print spooler to make sure anything I printed from the email account would be directed to my default printer. You wouldn't believe how many people just hit print, don't look at which printer they are sending things to and end up sending the print job somewhere it was not intended. It was the principle, though, that they took any control over my home computer -- but it was only the particular browser I had logged in on. No other part of my computer or any other browser was affected.

The browser modification is apparently permanent, but since it doesn't affect anything, it doesnt bother my activities, just irks me that it's there at all. I mostly use an different browser.
