Policy CSP - AppRuntime
Tip
This CSP contains ADMX-backed policies which require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.
The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see CDATA Sections.

If you enable this policy setting, packaged Microsoft Store apps that typically require a Microsoft account to sign in will allow users to sign in with an enterprise account instead.
