DSE recommendation
DSE recommends choosing the restriction against a written information-handling requirement.
Source facts
For fully managed and dedicated Android devices, Microsoft documents an Intune setting that blocks assist content from reaching privileged apps while preserving ordinary screenshots. Its additional screen-capture restriction also blocks users from taking screenshots across the device. Microsoft Learn.

DSE recommendation
DSE recommends choosing the restriction against a written information-handling requirement. Identify whether the concern is assistant access to displayed work content, any screenshot creation, or both. Review legitimate screenshot workflows with the device owner before proposing the broader control. Keep application and website controls as separately scoped decisions in the AI-use plan.
Verification
On an approved representative device, test the intended assistant-content workflow and an ordinary screenshot workflow after the policy is received. Compare both outcomes with the chosen requirement and record the enrollment type and effective setting. Ask support staff to demonstrate the approved method for documenting a screen issue under the resulting policy before expanding the assignment.
